Condominium board members are volunteers, but their responsibilities are anything but informal. Under Manitoba's Condominium Act, board members owe a duty of care to the corporation and its owners, which includes sound financial management, bylaw enforcement, maintenance of common elements, and proper record keeping. Acting outside that duty, whether through neglect, poor decision-making, or conflicts of interest, can expose individual board members to personal liability. Understanding these obligations is not meant to be intimidating. It is what makes a board effective, confident, and genuinely protective of the community it serves.
Imperial Properties has published a detailed guide to annual risks and responsibilities for condo board members. Find it at imperialproperties.ca and share it with every member of your board.
