Updates to the By-law and Form 100 Effective February 1, 2026
The Board of Directors has approved the following, effective February 1, 2026:
By-law 735 - Disclosure of Material Latent Defects
By-law 735(a) is the by-law that defines material latent defects. Subsection (iv) of by-law 735(a) will be repealed.
Form 100: Working With the Real Estate Industry (WWREI)
The Commission’s WWREI form includes the definition of material latent defects as stated in by-law 735(a). Line (d) under the definition of material latent defects in the WWREI will be removed, effective February 1, to reflect the repeal of by-law 735(a)(iv).
Licensees are to continue using the current version of the WWREI up to and including January 31, 2026 and are to be immediately discontinued on February 1 when the new form comes into effect. It is essential that all licensees review and understands the new form prior to its implementation, and have the necessary conversations with consumers regarding its use and the transition in February.
The NSAR has been provided with the new version so it can be added to WEBForms®.
