Question: A condominium corporation in London, Ontario, decides to implement a new rule prohibiting pets over 20 kg within units, despite the current declaration and existing bylaws allowing them. Which document would need to be formally amended and registered to effectively enforce this new pet restriction?

Answer options: ✅ The Declaration

• The Rules of the Corporation
• The By-Laws
• The Condominium Purchase Agreement

Correct answer: The Declaration

Explanation: Restrictions on pets, especially those defining the types or sizes allowed, are typically established in the Declaration, the foundational document of the condominium. Amending the Declaration requires a higher threshold of owner approval and registration than changing rules or bylaws, as per the Condominium Act, 1998.
