Your condo bylaws: balanced, or biased?

Condo Bylaw Check is $49 CAD per report, paid once through Stripe before you upload. Card details never touch our servers.

In Alberta, a condo bylaw is unenforceable to the extent it conflicts with the Condominium Property Act, its Regulation, or another statute such as the Alberta Human Rights Act. Condo Bylaw Check flags clauses in your bylaws that may conflict with those statutes and shows you the verbatim section involved, so you can raise it with your board or a lawyer. It is an educational screen, not a legal opinion.

No. A condo bylaw cannot override the Condominium Property Act or its Regulation. Where a bylaw conflicts with the Act, the Act prevails and the conflicting part of the bylaw is unenforceable. The tool highlights common conflicts, such as a fine that exceeds the regulatory cap (CPR s.73.8) or a clause purporting to override the Residential Tenancies Act.

Alberta condo bylaws can restrict pets and rentals, but limits apply: a blanket ban on certified service animals can engage the Alberta Human Rights Act, and an age or "no children" restriction can engage human-rights protections unless a recognized exemption applies. The tool flags pet, rental, age, and family-status clauses that may run into these limits.

Owners can challenge a board decision through the corporation’s own dispute process, the Condominium Dispute Resolution Tribunal for the matters within its jurisdiction (monetary sanctions and the process behind them, access to records, and general meetings), or the Court of King’s Bench for issues outside that list. Condo Bylaw Check reviews whether your bylaws give the board broad discretion without procedural safeguards (notice, a chance to respond, a reasonableness limit), which is often where a challenge starts.

No. Condo Bylaw Check is an educational tool. The analysis is informational only and is not a legal opinion about whether any clause is valid, enforceable, or fair. For advice about your specific situation, consult a lawyer licensed in Alberta.

We send the extracted text to Anthropic in the United States for clause analysis only after you acknowledge a PIPA cross-border-transfer notice. Anthropic does not use API inputs to train its models. We retain a copy of the bylaw and its extracted clauses to build our bylaw comparison library, stored without your IP address, name, or anything identifying you as the uploader. We never publish your bylaws or share them with anyone else, and you can ask us to remove a specific document at any time. Full details in our privacy policy.

The analysis flags patterns in wording, and patterns can occasionally over-flag something harmless or miss something subtle. The comparisons reflect the corporations in our benchmark, not every corporation in the province. This is not a chatbot reading your PDF: findings are checked against a verified copy of the legislation, every formal citation must come from a fixed list of real sections, and the comparisons come from our own benchmark of real Alberta corporations. Treat the report as a well-researched starting point for your board or your lawyer, not a final answer.

The benchmark is a curated set of Alberta condominium corporation bylaws, with all corporation identifiers pseudonymized before any user sees them. We do not publish the benchmark as a stand-alone product.

To help you understand how your bylaws compare to common practice, the analyzer shows short excerpts (typically 220 characters or less) from comparable corporations alongside your own clauses. We treat this as research and private study under s.29 of the Copyright Act, and we provide a takedown process for any drafter who objects. See our terms for the full posture.
