The condo corporation’s bylaws are their constitution, foundational rules, and designed to have a degree of permanence, so they are more difficult to change. Bylaws regulate the corporation and provide for the control, management and administration of the units, the real and personal property of the corporation, the common property and any managed property.
The condo association’s rules are like regulations, they are easier to create and change/remove, and can be used to address emerging issues and fill in the gaps in the bylaws. Rules are for addressing procedures used by the board in the administration of the corporation, the real and personal property of the corporation, the common property and managed property, but may not restrict the uses of units.
