 Dear Homeowner(s):

The Camrost-Felcorp Team, on behalf of the Declarant, 200 Cumberland

Building Group Inc., and Forest Hill Kipling Residential Management
Team would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to your new
home at Cumberland Tower.

This Homeowner’s Manual has been created to guide you and answer questions
you may have about living at Cumberland Tower. It contains information
about your community, condominium life and how to maintain your home.
We hope you will find this handbook helpful in making the transition into
your new home both easier and more enjoyable. Please be sure to pass this
manual along to any future owners of your unit to assist with their transition
into the community.

The Declarant will, in due course, register the Declaration and Description
and in doing so create a Condominium Corporation. Any decisions or
approvals regarding the building will eventually be the responsibility of the
elected Board of Directors, but prior to registration they will be addressed
by 200 Cumberland Building Group Inc.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not

hesitate to contact your Property Manager who will be most happy to assist
you with your concerns.

Sincerely,

Forest Hill Kipling Residential Management Inc.

200 Cumberland Building Group Inc.

INFORMATION

 GENERAL
INFORMATION
The Condominium Concept
The Condominium Concept After Registration
The Condominium combines elements of private and
common ownership. This tends to reduce the costs
of accommodation without sacrificing the financial
advantages of home ownership.
Following the transfer of ownership on the final closing
date, you will own the interior of your Unit, the boundaries
of which are described in the Declaration of the
Condominium Corporation. Everything else is defined as
common elements and includes all the foundations, load
bearing columns and walls, roofs, fences, land, elevators,
corridors, stairs, recreation facilities, common mechanical
equipment, etc. The common elements are owned by the
Corporation, of which each Unit Owner is a shareholder.
The portion that each Owner owns individually is theirs to
maintain, including certain mechanical systems within
the Unit. The common elements are maintained by the
Corporation on behalf of the Owners.
Certain areas of the common elements (attached to
individual Units) are designed as "exclusive use”, areas,
such as balconies and terraces, and are designated for
the personal enjoyment of the residents. Unit Owners
are required to keep their balconies in a clean and tidy
condition.
Living in a Condominium requires that you live in such a
way that does not interfere with your neighbours' quiet
enjoyment of their Unit. It is for this reason that the
use of Units must not conflict with the interests of other
members of the Corporation.
Alterations to the interior of a Unit other than those pre-
approved by the Declarant require written application
to the Board of Directors requesting permission as set
out in your Declaration. Alterations to the exclusive use
of common elements also require the permission of the
16
Board of Directors.
The Declaration, By-Laws and Rules of the Corporation
must be adhered to at all times.
Property Management
A Property Manager is employed by the Corporation to
provide expert advice concerning maintenance, and
day-to-day supervision of the companies providing
maintenance services. They are responsible for collecting
the maintenance fees, keeping financial records,
inspecting the property to determine the need for
maintenance, supervising work being completed on the
property, and dealing with emergencies that involve the
common elements. They are also acting as the agents
of the Corporation for enforcing the Declaration, By-Laws
and Rules of the Corporation.
Concierge
The Corporation employs the services of a Concierge to
assist residents. The Concierge will be on duty 24 hours
per day, seven days per week, subject to modification
from time to time by the Board of Directors.
Board of Directors
The affairs of the Corporation are conducted by the
Board of Directors consisting of five persons elected
by the homeowners of the Corporation. The first Board
of Directors will be elected by the Owners at a Turnover
Meeting shortly after the Condominium Corporation has
been registered. Thereafter, elections are held annually
at an annual general meeting. Each Owner will be notified
of the dates of the annual general meetings. Board
meetings are typically held once a month.
Resident Information Forms
Resident Information Forms are important and must be
set out in the Declaration of the Corporation.
The payment is due the first of each month. It is required
completed to maintain current owner information. We will
also be able to communicate to you information regarding

Condominium Fees
The common element assessment fees represent the

in maintaining the common elements and services. A
detailed budget establishes the financial needs of the
Corporation for the coming year.
Each Unit Owner is then assessed a monthly fee. This fee
is a percentage of the total budget divided by twelve to
arrive at a monthly figure. The percentage for each Unit is

Leasing of Units
No Owner, other than the Declarant, shall lease his
Unit, either short term or long term unless he first
delivers to the Corporation a “Tenant’s Undertaking and
Acknowledgement” form signed by the tenant in which
the tenant agrees to comply with the provision of the
Condominium Act, 1998, the Declaration, By-laws and
Rules of the Corporation.
The Unit Owner shall provide an information statement
in the Corporation’s form (Resident Information Form)
setting out the number and relationship to one another
of the intended occupants of the Residential Unit under
the lease, the license number of any private passenger
vehicle intended to be parked in such Parking Unit, the
length of term of the tenancy and other such useful
information, as may be set forth in the Rules of the
Corporation.
The Unit Owner shall remain directly responsible to
the Corporation for all common expense assessments,
insurance deductibles, and any other charge the Board
may direct to the Unit notwithstanding the leasing of
the Unit and, in this regard, provided the Unit Owner has
been notified by ordinary prepaid post to his address for
service, he shall be responsible for any legal and other
costs incurred by the Corporation in seeking to obtain his
tenants’ compliance with the Declaration, the By-Laws,
and Rules of the Corporation.
18
Insurance
The Condominium Corporation carries public liability
insurance to protect the Corporation in case of lawsuits
arising from bodily injury on the common elements, or
through the operation of the Corporation. The Corporation
also carries all risk insurance for fire and major perils. The
property is professionally appraised before the annual
renewal or replacement of the policies is undertaken to
guarantee that the coverage is adequate.
NOTE: Individual Owners must provide
their own insurance for liability and on the
"contents" of their Units. The Corporation's
policy for replacement cost insurance has
provided for the restoration of the Unit to the
base condition it was in, as per the original
schedule of standard finishes when the
original purchaser took possession of it.
Essentially, this means that laminate flooring,
tile floors, broadloom (where laid), kitchen and
bathroom cabinetry, and two coats of finish
paint applied to the walls, would be insured.
The Corporation's insurance does not cover
wallpaper, additional broadloom, or rugs of any
kind, appliances or any upgrades, including
those supplied by the Declarant. Similarly,
furniture and personal belongings are not
covered.
It is strongly recommended that each Unit Owner
acquire a Condominium Homeowner's policy which is
available from most insurance companies. This will
insure furniture, appliances, rugs, drapes, wallpaper
and other decorations which have been added since the
Unit was built. It also provides liability coverage should
a visitor to your home suffer an injury for which you
are liable. Further coverage can be added and typically
policies of this type provide for paying hotel bills should
it be necessary for you to vacate your suite because of
damage to your home. Any insurance agent can advise
you on this matter.
Suite Entry Doors
The exterior portion of this door is part of the common
elements and, therefore, no knocker, decoration, or any
other item is permitted to be installed or posted thereon.
Weather-stripping installed around this door would
interrupt proper air circulation and exhaustion, and is
therefore, not permitted.
Keys / Locks
You have received keys and fobs and have been advised
of their application. No Owner shall change any lock or
place additional locks on the doors to any Unit, or in the
Unit, or to any part of the Common Elements of which
such Owner has the exclusive use.
Window Coverings
No Residential Unit Owner or his tenant shall install
drapes, blinds, or similar window covering in any colour
other than white or off-white backing or alter the interior
design or colour of any part of a Residential Unit where
such change, alteration, or decoration is normally visible
from the exterior thereof.
Building Entry System
The Property Manager or Concierge will insert your name
and entry code number on the directory board upon
receiving your completed Resident Information Form.
Lockers
Lockers are located on levels 2 through to P6. You
will have been provided with a locker assignment by
Customer Care. You will require a padlock for the door.
Before occupying a locker, please ensure you have
checked the number and the correct level. It becomes
rather inconvenient at a later date to discover the locker
you are occupying belongs to someone else, and that you
have to move the contents.
IT IS AGAINST THE ONTARIO FIRE CODE TO STORE ANY TOXIC
OR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS IN LOCKERS.
Water
All water used by the Corporation is paid for by the
Corporation. Individual Owners receive a separate water
bill from allocation on the utility bill from the metering
company.
Cable Television
The building has been pre-wired for cable television.
Residents must deal directly with the cable company
for cable television service. The Rules of the condominium
corporation prohibit the installation of T.V. antennas,
aerials, or satellite dishes unless the prior written
consent of the Board is obtained, of which consent may
be unreasonably withheld. Rogers Cable (1-888-764-

Telephone/ Bulk Ultra High-Speed Internet
Service
Bulk ultra high speed internet service in the building
being supplied by Rogers at the cost included in your
monthly maintenance fees* Telephone service may be
provided by your choice of Rogers or Bell.
Garbage & Recycling
The garbage chute may not be operational when you first
move into the building in which case all garbage is to be
brought down to the garbage room on the P1 level.
The building is equipped with a garbage chute with
sorting capability. Before disposing of recyclables down
the chute, you must select the appropriate designation.
More details will be provided once the chute system is
operational.
Loose garbage shall not be deposited down the garbage
chute. All garbage must first be properly bound, packaged,
or bagged to reduce or eliminate mess and odours within
the garbage rooms on each level and in the compactor
room at the bottom of the chute.
Bound or bagged garbage shall be of a reasonable size to
permit same to travel easily down the chute and shall not
be left in the hopper of the chute. Large items and cartons
shall be stored in such areas designated by the Board.
19
 No garbage is to be placed in the chute between the hours
of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., as the resulting noise would
disturb other residents in the building.
Pets
No animal, livestock or fowl of any kind other than
household pets shall be kept or allowed in any Residential
Unit. One (1) dog, or one (1) cat not exceeding 10
kilograms or (22 pounds) is permitted, and or two (2)
canaries, budgies or other small bird, or an aquarium of
goldfish or tropical fish, or one (1) small caged animal
usually considered to be a pet.
No pet that is deemed by the Board or Property Manager,
in the absolute discretion of such party, to be a
nuisance shall be allowed upon or kept by any Owner in
a residential unit. Such Owner shall, within two weeks
of receipt of written notice by the Board requesting the
removal of such pet, permanently remove such pet from
the Unit and common elements.
No attack dogs shall be allowed in any Residential Unit,
and no breeding of animals for sale shall be carried on, in,
or around any Residential Unit.
Amenities
Amenities are located on the 3rd and 5th floors and
consist of a fitness area, a pool and an events area.
Terraces & Other Exclusive Use Areas
Terraces and other exclusive use areas shall not be used
for cooking and barbecuing except if provided with a
natural gas outlet. These areas are not to be used for
storage of any goods and materials and shall not be used
for hanging or drying of clothes.
20
In-Suite Renovations
No Owner or Occupant of a Residential Unit shall do any
of the following work without the prior written approval of
the Board of Directors:
· Major plumbing;
· Major electrical;
· Major mechanical, including changes to the fan coil
system;
· Structural changes;
· Alteration to the television cable system;
· Renovations, other than painting and wallpapering.
Parking
Each Owner of a Parking Unit shall provide the Corporation
with license numbers of all motor vehicles driven by the
Owners, residents or tenants. Parking Units shall only be
used by owners or tenants of the Parking Unit
No motor vehicle having a propane or natural gas
propulsion system shall be parked in a parking unit, or
the common elements. Occupants will not be permitted
to store bicycles and any other materials in their parking
spaces.
Extra garage door openers will be available for purchase
from the Property Manager at a cost of $100 (subject to
change) only for use by the homeowner. No guests will be
permitted to park in an Owner’s Parking Unit
Note: You are responsible for battery replacement in your

MAINTENANCE
& HOUSEHOLD
TIPS

 SUITE MAINTENANCE
& HOUSEHOLD TIPS
Exhaust Fans
When showering, bathing, drying clothes, and cooking,
please activate the exhaust fan in order to reduce
condensation, which is usually quite prevalent in newly
constructed buildings. Replacement and/or repair of the
exhaust fan is the homeowner's responsibility. For more
information on controlling humidity levels within your
suite, please see page 25.
Electrical
No Owner shall overload existing electrical circuits in his
Unit and shall not alter in any way the amperage of the
existing circuit breakers in his Unit.
An electrical panel is located in each Unit. It is essential
that the Board of Directors and Toronto Hydro be contacted
prior to any changes which you wish to make to the wiring
of your Unit. Otherwise, the Condominium’s insurance
and your personal insurance could be made invalid.
Plumbing
Water shall not be left running unless in actual use. The
water closets (toilets) and other water apparatuses shall
not be used for purposes other than those for which they
are constructed.
It is important that you are aware of all shut-off locations.
There is one pair of shut-off valves (hot and cold) for the
water supply in your entire suite. In addition, there are
shut-off valves for each toilet behind the bowl.
When water overflows from any fixture, it inevitably
results in damage to the suite or suites below and the
resulting costs to repair are charged to the resident.
24
We cannot emphasize enough the importance of not
disposing rags, papers, cat litter, etc. down toilets and
drains. Food items of any kind and, in particular, grease
and rice cause serious blockages in the drains. Food
should be cleared from plates and pots before being
placed in the dishwasher. Homeowners are responsible
for any cost arising from cleaning blocked drains.
Washing Machines
According to the supplier, a washing machine installed in
your Unit comes equipped with nylon reinforced hoses
for the water supply. These hoses must be inspected
regularly and should be changed at least every 5 years
with hoses of the same specification. The purpose
and intent of this Rule is to reduce or eliminate the
considerable inconvenience and costs incurred as a
result of flooding caused by the bursting of washing
machine hoses.
Only detergents, softeners and additives suitable for use
in high-efficiency washers may be used in this machine.
When the washer door is open, the area beneath the
rubber seal located between the interior and exterior of
the machine, should be cleaned regularly to avoid odours.

CONDENSATION – SOME CAUSES AND POSSIBLE CURES
Construction practices today by reputable builders/
developers result in better built homes than ever realized
before. The use of the latest available materials and better
controlled construction methods has given us structures
of beauty and practicality. Modern buildings have more
indoor facilities, e.g. saunas, pools, recreational facilities,
etc. which adds to humidity conditions, and are less likely
to have outside air infiltration as seen in older buildings.
Condensation on windows and frames is an indication
of excessive water vapour, (which cannot be seen in the
air). The amount of water depends on temperature and
humidity. If left unchecked, water damage to window
ledges, walls, and floors (including carpets and even the
furniture on wet carpets) will result.
Condensation problems arise because air can hold only
a limited amount of water vapour; an amount that varies
with temperature, cold air being able to hold less water
than warm air.
When air at a given temperature contains all the water
vapour it can hold, it is said to have a relative humidity of
100%. If it contains only half the water vapour it can hold
at that temperature, then the relative humidity is 50%. If
the temperature changes, but no water vapour is added or
removed, then the relative humidity will also change, and
humidity will continue to rise with the falling temperature
until the dew point is reached, i.e. the temperature at
which the relative humidity becomes 100% (“dew point
temperature”). Any further decreases in the temperature
will force some of the vapour to condense as water,
because the warm moist air inside the unit comes into
contact with the cooled surface (such as an outside
window).
Each person has their own level of personal comfort
and their own personal tolerance level when it comes
to humidity. Some humidity is necessary for comfort
and health, and the first step in solving condensation
26
problems within your unit is a willingness by you to
reduce humidity. Condensation on an inside window
surface is the signal to reduce the humidity in your unit.
Some controllable sources of water vapour which add
humidity within your unit are: a kettle left boiling, long
hot showers, dishwashing, over-watering of plants, and/
or too many plants in a given space, use of a humidifier,
cooking, fish tanks, etc. – just to name a few.
Excessive winter humidity can usually be reduced by
effective ventilation. Use the exhaust fans provided in
your unit to exhaust excessively humid air directly to the
outdoors. Occasionally open a window for a short time,
bringing in cooler, less humid air into your unit, thus
reducing the overall humidity. Use bathroom fans while
showering, use the range exhaust fan when boiling water,
and use the dryer exhaust when using the clothes dryer.
It is hoped that these few basic principles will serve to
simplify the understanding of a very complex problem
and make you a condensation expert and trouble-shooter.
Door Alarm Contact – Security System
DO NOT paint over the door alarm contact mounted on
your suite entrance frame.
See manual provided for instructions on how to utilize
the In-Suite Security System.
Granite, Quartz, Marble & Limestone
Although these are very strong and durable natural
stones, the exact strength of any particular piece of
granite, quartz, marble, or limestone depends on the
quarry site and on the variety of stone itself. To clean a
countertop, a mild dish soap or stone soap and water is
sufficient, although in general, it’s best to use products
made specifically for stone.
General Guidelines for Stone:
· DO NOT place hot items right off a stove or out of an oven
directly on the stone surface.
· Use coasters under all glasses, particularly those
containing alcohol or citrus juices.
· Use trivets or mats under hot dishes and placemats
under china, ceramics, silver, or other objects that can
scratch the surface.
NOTE: Stone surfaces are susceptible to staining,
particularly from oil-based products. The Declarant is
not responsible for any stains that may occur in natural
stone surfaces after the occupancy closing date. Simple
maintenance using stone cleaners along with a stone
sealer will greatly reduce the potential for staining.
Honed stone is a delicate and high maintenance product.
To achieve the honed finish, the polishes, waxes and
sealers that are applied during the manufacturing
process must be removed. In doing so, the pores of
the product are opened thus making the stone more
vulnerable to absorption of staining..
Laundry
· Regularly inspect ceiling-mounted dryer lint trap and
clean.
· Ensure washer drain hose is correctly inserted into
drain pipe before using machine.
· Inspect washer hoses on a regular basis.
· Make sure you turn hot and cold water valves off when
leaving your home for an extended period of time.
· Use exhaust fan when using dryer.
Water Damage
In order to avoid possible water damage to the floor below,
spills or leaks should be mopped up immediately, and
leaks repaired promptly. When showering, ensure that
the shower curtain is inside the tub, or that the shower
door is closed.
Windows
Never leave windows open when not at home or during a
rain storm, as it can lead to damage of the Suite as well as
the rest of the building. Damage caused is not covered by
The Condo Corporation.
Laminate Flooring and
Engineered Flooring Care Guide
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Laminate flooring is made up of individual layers (wood
particles/paste) pressed and bonded together, with an
image on the surface of the substrate or underlying core
layer. If the environmental conditions are too dry, the
laminate flooring layers may contract, leaving permanent
gaps between the strips or at the perimeter of the room or
the area. If the environmental conditions are too humid,
the laminate floor may expand causing all edges (sides
and ends of boards) to press against each other and curl
upwards.
The homeowner has a responsibility to maintain indoor
humidity levels through humidification, ventilation, air
conditioning or dehumidification to prevent permanent,
irreversible damage. A hygrometer can be used to monitor
indoor humidity levels. Damage caused by dryness or
dampness due to failure by homeowners to maintain
proper indoor humidity level is excluded from warranty.
Keep the laminate floor surface free from dust, grit, sand,
and abrasive particles by sweeping daily with a proper
broom and vacuum. Remove marks from the surface with
products specifically made for laminate floor cleaning.
· DO NOT use a scrubbing machine or a wet mopping
process for cleaning
· DO NOT use soaps and strong detergents
· DO NOT use water emulsion type waxes
· DO NOT use oil treated sweeping compounds, or oil
treated mop in daily maintenance as they will eventually
discolour the wood.
KEEP WATER OFF THE FLOOR SURFACE
Never wash your laminate floor with direct water. Use a
damp mop/cloth. Do not leave water or any other liquid
to dry on your floors. Avoid tracking water onto your
floors by protecting your floors at exterior doorways with
mats or rugs.
PREVENT INDENTATION MARKS AND SCRATCHES
Use adequate floor protection (felt pads) under all
furniture and chair legs to prevent scratching the floor.
Use protective mats at doorways and high traffic areas.
27
 Protect your floor when moving heavy pieces of furniture
and appliances. If heavy objects are moved across a
laminate floor, it should be protected by rolling over
plywood protection only.
Laminate floors will show indentation marks caused by
high pressure points such as ladies’ high heeled shoes.
Do not wear shoes that are covered with dirt, gravel, or
abrasive dust. Keep your pet’s nails cleaned and trimmed
as they could damage the finish of your floor. Although
the finish is durable, sharp and pointed objects can cause
damage to your floor.
The Declarant is not responsible for any damage to your
laminate floors after the Occupancy Closing Date and/or
damage caused by improper maintenance.
Bathroom Fixture Care Guide
Your new bathroom and kitchen fixtures are constructed
of vitreous china, acrylic, enamel steel, or stainless steel.
These materials have been selected after undergoing
extensive testing to ensure years of trouble-free
performance. The surface of the fixture, while extremely
durable, does require proper care:
· DO NOT clean the fixture with abrasive type household
cleaners, abrasive scouring pads, high pH rated alkaline,
or acidic based cleansers, or any cleaning agent not
recommended for the specific purpose of cleaning the
fixture in question.
· Drain cleaners may damage the fixtures. If a drain
cleaner must be used, rinse the surrounding surface
with water immediately after use.
· DO NOT use drain cleaners in toilet bowls at any time.
· Personal cleaners and shampoos with high pH rated
alkaline or acidic content may damage the surface of the
fixture. Rinse the fixture immediately after use.
· Avoid sharp blows, or dropping heavy objects on the
fixture as they can damage it.
· Acetone, nail polish remover, other similar solvents or
extreme heat (e.g. cigarettes, curling irons, etc.) will
damage acrylic fixtures.
· DO NOT allow contact with such items.
· If your bathtub is not supplied with a factory applied slip-
28
resistant surface, a rubber mat may be used. Rubber Monthly Maintenance Checklist
bath mats must be removed after every use to avoid
· Clean fan coil filter and replace as necessary
damage to the surface of the bath.
· Have fan coil unit serviced in September each year
· DO NOT apply adhesive backed slip-resistant decals as
they may damage the surface of the bath. · Check exhaust fans (bathroom and laundry room) for
blockage and proper ventilation. (When cleaning the frill

around the windows. Adjust the air flow in unused
rooms as required, however, please be sure not to
entirely close off the grills, or the air control flap in the
ductwork itself.
· Check and close windows to prevent drafts.
· During extremely cold spells, you may find it necessary
to keep the temperature set a little higher than usual.
· You may want to keep the thermostat set to “fan” rather
than “auto” in order to keep the fan running constantly,
which can help maintain more even heating or cooling of
your home.
