What entity has the regulatory authority over condominium managers in Ontario?

The Condominium Management Registration Authority (CMRAO) is the entity responsible for the regulatory oversight of condominium managers in Ontario. This authority operates under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services and was established to implement provisions of the Condominium Management Services Act.

The CMRAO has the key responsibilities of ensuring that condominium management professionals meet specific educational and ethical standards, registering individuals and businesses engaged in condominium management, and enforcing compliance with the relevant legislation. This regulatory framework aims to enhance professionalism within the condominium management sector, providing consumers with assurance regarding the qualifications and accountability of those managing their properties.

Other entities such as the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and the Ontario Real Estate Association may have roles in broader real estate governance or advisory capacities, but they do not specifically regulate condominium managers. The Canadian Institute of Property Management focuses on educational resources for property management but is not a regulatory body for condominium managers in Ontario.
