The management of a condominium where I own a unit has been hijacked in an extraordinary general meeting by the developer. The developer exercised voting privileges of units that were sold on 30 ++ years leases. The lessees have been voting their units in AGMs for 12 years as well as paying their own condo fees.

My questions seems to me to be straightforward, but I have not been able to find the answer, either in this forum or from "our" lawyer who cannot (will not?) provide the answer:

Who can vote the leasehold units- lessor or lessee?

Any enlightenment most appreciated.

It is co -owners who have the right to vote. The name on the Chanote.

Lessee cannot vote.

If ,in your case ,the developer is controlling more than 50% of the vote -then this must be reduced (such that it is no more than the sum of all the other votes)

By law it is the co -owner who pays the fees. The Condo . Act says nothing about tenants.

Also the leases are only good for 30 years. Not 30 ++
