Condominium Manager Magazine

CM Magazine is the flagship quarterly publication of the Association of Condominium Managers of Ontario (ACMO) and for more than 30 years has served as the leading source of in-depth coverage of industry news, issues, information, education and best practices for condominium management professionals and service providers.

CM Magazine has a printed circulation of 7,000+ per issue and a digital circulation of approximately 400 views per issue. The audience consists of Condominium Managers, Condominium Management Companies, Industry Services & Trades Providers, and Condominium Boards.

Article submission is not open to the general public. ACMO members in good standing may contribute articles. From time to time we will reach out to the broader condominium industry and request articles from non-members and other industry experts (e.g. government partners, educational partners, legal experts), if the subject matter requires a distinctive perspective that cannot be addressed by an individual ACMO member or company.

Staying CO Safe

From the Ground Up

Your Condo || Greg Kerr

As a condo manager, you’re well versed in managing costs within a diverse, operational framework – sometimes known as the bottom line – with the goal of providing a safe and thriving environment for tenants.

Goes Rogue

Your Condo || Antoni Casalinuovo

We work with a condominium corporation in the City of Ottawa that has spent over two years litigating with a particular unit owner, who, in our view, has simply gone rogue. What started out as a dispute over a $450 back charge to remove a flower box, which was an unauthorized alteration to the common elements, quickly spiralled into a convoluted web of litigation – all perpetuated by the unit owner and what appears to be her personal animus towards her board of directors and the property manager.
