Description

I own a Unit in the Claridge Moon Condo. I want to sell because I do not want to live in a Condo where the Unit Owners are being financially exploited by Claridge Homes. I have gathered substantial evidence pointing to a suspected collusion scheme between the condo developer Claridge Homes and various players in the Ontario Condo Industry. This collusion specifically concerns the Claridge Moon Condo in Ottawa, ON. It could be even larger than that and include many members of the Canadian Condominium Institute (https://cci-easternontario.ca/news-events/cci-eastern-ontario-news/leaders-of-the-canadian-condominium-institute-lcci). I strongly suspect collusion between several parties (ex. Keller Engineering, Sentinel Management, Claridge Homes ("Claridge Albert"), DHA Condo Law and the current Claridge Moon Board of Directors) in an effort to enrich Claridge Homes at the expense of the Moon Condo. I suspect this is the case for the Shared Facilities Agreement and the 1/2/7 Year Tarion Performance Audit Processes. I intend to have the truth of these matters come to light. I have taken the following actions against these parties: 1) Keller Engineering: I obtained a copy of the 1st-year Reserve Fund Study (RFS) and discovered that the financial calculations did not properly take into account the Shared Facilities Agreement we have with “Claridge Albert”. Many shared elements had 100% of its repair/replacement costs attributed to our condo, and not the 50-50 split as outlined in the SFA. I have submitted a complaint to the Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO) to hold Keller Engineering accountable. 2) Sentinel Management: I filed a CMRAO complaint against Sentinel Management back in August 2024 which has still not been resolved. I escalated a complaint with the Premier of Ontario’s office, and they are making inquiries as to why my complaint has not been resolved yet. Among the many complaints I submitted against them, Sentinel Management’s actions, especially concerning the SFA and the 1/2/7 Year Tarion Performance Audits, seems to have been to the financial benefit of Claridge Homes and not to our Condo. 3) DHA Condo Law: I submitted a complaint against a prominent DHA Lawyer to the Law Society of Ontario (LSO). I have concrete proof that she inappropriately acted during the brief period in December 2024 when Condo Board quorum was lost, as only a quorum of the Board can direct a legal representative of the condo to take action. In addition, from evidence in the Condo BOD minutes and legal invoices, her involvement in the activities related to the Shared Facilities Agreement and the flawed 1st-year RFS is highly suspicious. 4) Claridge Moon BOD: Three of the current Directors of the Board called a Meeting of the Owners to remove me as Director. Although that vote ultimately failed, I resigned from my position when all the other 4 Directors resigned in December 2024. Although I re-ran for a Director position, I was not re-elected. My vast amount of collected evidence, in addition to the BOD meeting minutes from January 2025 onward, clearly indicate to me that they have been acting in Claridge Home’s best interests and not in our condo’s. I have a Condo Authority Tribunal case against the BOD that has moved onto Stage 3 and the result of that case will eventually be made available to the public. 5) Claridge Homes (“Claridge Albert”): Based on the advice of the Provincial Government, I also launched a complaint against Claridge Homes (Moon) with the Home Construction Regulatory Authority of Ontario. Their actions are suspicious as well, since it appears that they made no effort to clarify the Shared Facilities Agreement with the Moon condo despite me raising the issue with them back in September 2024. If we don’t hold Claridge Homes accountable for both the Shared Facilities Agreement and the Tarion Common Elements Warranty processes, they will financially benefit at the Claridge Moon condo’s expense. 6) Defamation Lawsuit Against Former Superintendent: My Ontario Small Claims lawsuit against the former superintendent of our condo is proceeding smoothly. After holding the Settlement Conference, the deputy Judge admitted that there was merit to my claim and allowed my claim to proceed to a 1-day trial in the future. I plan to have my day in court and prove that he lied in an effort to damage my reputation in front of the entire condo community. 7) I filed a Notice of Application with the Ottawa Courthouse (Case CV-25-00100115-0000) to have the Court appoint an Administrator and/or Inspector, given the fact that Claridge Homes' undue influence over the Claridge Moon condo warrants Court intervention to protect Unit Owners' interests.
