Condo owners across Ontario organizing to protect our buildings.
Update
On October 7, 2026, we spoke with LDDC Lawyers to get clearer answers about the administrator’s rates and how long the work is expected to take. Here are the key points.
What is an administrator? A court-appointed person who runs the condo corporation for a while. (Condominium Act, 1998, s. 131)
We spoke with LDDC about the administrator’s rates and timeline.
The administrator’s hourly rates are expected to be confirmed.
A few months of work is anticipated. The goal is to hand the corporations back to owners as quickly as possible.
What LDDC told us, in plain language.
The hourly rates are not confirmed yet. They are expected to be confirmed on Thursday, October 8, 2026.
The exact length depends on how much work is needed once the administrator starts.
The main goal is self-governance (owners running their own corporation again) as quickly as possible.
Based on what is known now, the work is expected to take a few months, not a long, drawn-out appointment, unless circumstances change and require otherwise.
The administrator will work for all corporations that have engaged LDDC at the same time, so work can be shared.
For example, one joint letter would go to parties like the management company or AlixPartners, instead of a separate letter for each corporation.
The total time billed is shared across all participating corporations.
The administrator reports only to the court and must account for all money spent.
Owners will be able to review the accounts filed with the court and send in questions as needed.
Yes. The administrator will report to both the court and owners across the corporations, and will ask owners for feedback on key decisions, to keep things transparent.
Good to know: owner input is valued, but the administrator answers only to the court. They will do what they believe is in the best interests of the corporation and its owners.
