What is the initial step in resolving issues through the Condominium Authority Tribunal?

The initial step in resolving issues through the Condominium Authority Tribunal is application filing. This process involves formally submitting an application to the Tribunal, which must include specific information about the dispute at hand. By filing an application, the parties formally initiate the dispute resolution process, allowing the Tribunal to acknowledge the issue and begin the review.

Following the application filing, there are subsequent steps that may occur, such as case review, where the Tribunal assesses the details provided and determines the next course of action. Mediation may also be requested at later stages as a way to facilitate communication and hopefully reach a resolution without proceeding to a full hearing. Additionally, a complaint submission might be relevant before getting to the Tribunal stage, but the key starting point for formal proceedings is the application filing.

This structured process is designed to ensure that all parties have a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities under the Condominium Act, making application filing a critical first step in the resolution journey.
