Tarion Tentative Form PDF Details

Entering into a new home purchase is an exciting, yet complex process, especially when it comes to understanding the various forms and agreements involved. Among these, the Tarion Tentative form plays a crucial role for buyers in Ontario, offering a structured framework that outlines the anticipated occupancy dates for new homes. This form is particularly relevant for properties involving an interest in a common elements condominium corporation, integrating seamlessly with the Agreement of Purchase and Sale and providing a thorough overview of key timelines and conditions that both the vendor and purchaser must adhere to. It introduces concepts such as the First Tentative Occupancy Date, adjustments for possible delays, and stipulations for a Firm Occupancy Date, ensuring that buyers are well-informed of their rights and the obligations of the vendor under the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act. Notably, the form also lays out conditions under which both parties can mutually agree to modify these critical dates, emphasizes the importance of timely notice for any changes, and outlines compensation entitlements for delayed occupancy, making it an essential document for safeguarding the interests of home buyers. Additionally, it underscores the significance of legal advice prior to signing the agreement, reinforcing the buyer’s understanding of the warranty provisions and their implications. With detailed provisions for setting or changing occupancy dates, including through unavoidable delays or mutual agreement, and rules regarding the potential early termination of the purchase agreement, the Tarion Tentative form acts as a comprehensive guide for navigating the often-complex terrain of new home purchases.

If the Purchaser terminates the transaction during the Purchaser’s Termination Period, then the Purchaser is entitled to delayed occupancy compensation and to a full refund of all monies paid plus interest (see sections 7, 11 and 12 of the Addendum).

Note: Any time a Critical Date is set or changed as permitted in the Addendum, other Critical Dates may change as well. At any given time

the parties must refer to: the most recent revised Statement of Critical Dates; or agreement or written notice that sets a Critical Date, and calculate revised Critical Dates using the formulas contained in the Addendum. Critical Dates can also change if there are unavoidable delays (see section 5 of the Addendum).

SETTING AND CHANGING CRITICAL DATES

1.Setting Tentative Occupancy Dates and the Firm Occupancy Date

(a)Completing Construction Without Delay: The Vendor shall take all reasonable steps to complete construction of the home subject to all prescribed requirements, to provide Occupancy of the home without delay, and, to register without delay the declaration and description for the related common elements condominium corporation.

(b)First Tentative Occupancy Date: The Vendor shall identify the First Tentative Occupancy Date in the Statement of Critical Dates attached to this Addendum at the time the Purchase Agreement is signed.

(c)Second Tentative Occupancy Date: The Vendor may choose to set a Second Tentative Occupancy Date that is no later than 120 days after the First Tentative Occupancy Date. The Vendor shall give written notice of the Second Tentative Occupancy Date to the Purchaser at least 90 days before the First Tentative Occupancy Date, or else the First Tentative Occupancy Date shall for all purposes be the Firm Occupancy Date.

(d)Firm Occupancy Date: The Vendor shall set a Firm Occupancy Date, which can be no later than 120 days after the Second Tentative Occupancy Date or, if a Second Tentative Occupancy Date is not set, no later than 120 days after the First Tentative Occupancy Date. If the Vendor elects not to set a Second Tentative Occupancy Date, the Vendor shall give written notice of the Firm Occupancy Date to the Purchaser at least 90 days before the First Tentative Occupancy Date, or else the First Tentative Occupancy Date shall for all purposes be the Firm Occupancy Date. If the Vendor elects to set a Second Tentative Occupancy Date, the Vendor shall give written notice of the Firm Occupancy Date to the Purchaser at least 90 days before the Second Tentative Occupancy Date, or else the Second Tentative Occupancy Date shall for all purposes be the Firm Occupancy Date.

(e)Notice: Any notice given by the Vendor under paragraphs (c) and (d) must set out the stipulated Critical Date, as applicable.

2. Changing the Firm Occupancy Date – Three Ways

(a)The Firm Occupancy Date, once set or deemed to be set in accordance with section 1, can be changed only:

(i)by the Vendor setting a Delayed Occupancy Date in accordance with section 3;

(ii)by the mutual written agreement of the Vendor and Purchaser in accordance with section 4; or

(iii)as the result of an Unavoidable Delay of which proper written notice is given in accordance with section 5.

(b)If a new Firm Occupancy Date is set in accordance with section 4 or 5, then the new date is the “Firm Occupancy

Date” for all purposes in this Addendum.

3. Changing the Firm Occupancy Date – By Setting a Delayed Occupancy Date

(a)If the Vendor cannot provide Occupancy on the Firm Occupancy Date and sections 4 and 5 do not apply, the Vendor shall select and give written notice to the Purchaser of a Delayed Occupancy Date in accordance with this section, and delayed occupancy compensation is payable in accordance with section 7.

(b)The Delayed Occupancy Date may be any Business Day after the date the Purchaser receives written notice of the Delayed Occupancy Date but not later than the Outside Occupancy Date.

(c)The Vendor shall give written notice to the Purchaser of the Delayed Occupancy Date as soon as the Vendor knows that it will be unable to provide Occupancy on the Firm Occupancy Date, and in any event at least 10 days before the Firm Occupancy Date, failing which delayed occupancy compensation is payable from the date that is 10 days before the Firm Occupancy Date, in accordance with paragraph 7(c). If notice of a new Delayed Occupancy Date is not given by the Vendor, before the Firm Occupancy Date, then the new Delayed Occupancy Date shall be deemed to be the date which is 90 days after the Firm Occupancy Date.

(d)After the Delayed Occupancy Date is set, if the Vendor cannot provide Occupancy on the Delayed Occupancy Date, the Vendor shall select and give written notice to the Purchaser of a new Delayed Occupancy Date, unless the delay arises due to Unavoidable Delay under section 5 or is mutually agreed upon under section 4, in which case the requirements of those sections must be met. Paragraphs (b) and (c) above apply with respect to the setting of the new Delayed Occupancy Date.

(e)Nothing in this section affects the right of the Purchaser or Vendor to terminate the Purchase Agreement on the bases set out in section 11.

4. Changing Critical Dates – By Mutual Agreement

(a)This Addendum sets out a framework for setting, extending and/or accelerating Critical Dates, which cannot be altered contractually except as set out in this section 4. Any amendment not in accordance with this section is voidable at the option of the Purchaser. For greater certainty, this Addendum does not restrict any extensions of the Closing date (i.e., title transfer date) where Occupancy of the home has already been given to the Purchaser.

(b)The Vendor and Purchaser may at any time, after signing the Purchase Agreement, mutually agree in writing to accelerate or extend any of the Critical Dates. Any amendment which accelerates or extends any of the Critical Dates must include the following provisions:

(i)the Purchaser and Vendor agree that the amendment is entirely voluntary the Purchaser has no obligation to sign the amendment and each understands that this purchase transaction will still be valid if the Purchaser does not sign this amendment;

(ii)the amendment includes a revised Statement of Critical Dates which replaces the previous Statement of Critical Dates;

POTL TENTATIVE - 2012

Page 3 of 14

Limited Use Freehold Form

(Tentative Occupancy Date – POTL/CEC)

(iii)the Purchaser acknowledges that the amendment may affect delayed occupancy compensation payable; and

(iv)if the change involves extending either the Firm Occupancy Date or the Delayed Occupancy Date, then the amending agreement shall:

i.disclose to the Purchaser that the signing of the amendment may result in the loss of delayed occupancy compensation as described in section 7;

ii.unless there is an express waiver of compensation, describe in reasonable detail the cash amount, goods, services, or other consideration which the Purchaser accepts as compensation; and

iii.contain a statement by the Purchaser that the Purchaser waives compensation or accepts the compensation referred to in clause ii above, in either case, in full satisfaction of any delayed occupancy compensation payable by the Vendor for the period up to the new Firm Occupancy Date or Delayed Occupancy Date.

If the Purchaser for his or her own purposes requests a change of the Firm Occupancy Date or the Delayed Occupancy Date, then subparagraphs (b)(i), (iii) and (iv) above shall not apply.

(c)A Vendor is permitted to include a provision in the Purchase Agreement allowing the Vendor a one-time unilateral right to extend a Firm Occupancy Date or Delayed Occupancy Date, as the case may be, for one (1) Business Day to avoid the necessity of tender where a Purchaser is not ready to complete the transaction on the Firm Occupancy Date or Delayed Occupancy Date, as the case may be. Delayed occupancy compensation will not be payable for such period and the Vendor may not impose any penalty or interest charge upon the Purchaser with respect to such extension.

(d)The Vendor and Purchaser may agree in the Purchase Agreement to any unilateral extension or acceleration rights that are for the benefit of the Purchaser.

5. Extending Dates – Due to Unavoidable Delay

(a)If Unavoidable Delay occurs, the Vendor may extend Critical Dates by no more than the length of the Unavoidable Delay Period, without the approval of the Purchaser and without the requirement to pay delayed occupancy compensation in connection with the Unavoidable Delay, provided the requirements of this section are met.

(b)If the Vendor wishes to extend Critical Dates on account of Unavoidable Delay, the Vendor shall provide written notice to the Purchaser setting out a brief description of the Unavoidable Delay, and an estimate of the duration of the delay. Once the Vendor knows or ought reasonably to know that an Unavoidable Delay has commenced, the Vendor shall provide written notice to the Purchaser by the earlier of: 20 days thereafter; and the next Critical Date.

(c)As soon as reasonably possible, and no later than 20 days after the Vendor knows or ought reasonably to know that an Unavoidable Delay has concluded, the Vendor shall provide written notice to the Purchaser setting out a brief description of the Unavoidable Delay, identifying the date of its conclusion, and setting new Critical Dates. The new Critical Dates are calculated by adding to the then next Critical Date the number of days of the Unavoidable Delay Period (the other Critical Dates changing accordingly), provided that the Firm Occupancy Date or Delayed Occupancy Date, as the case may be, must be at least 10 days after the day of giving notice

unless the parties agree otherwise. Either the Vendor or the Purchaser may request in writing an earlier Firm

Occupancy Date or Delayed Occupancy Date, and the other party’s consent to the earlier date shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d)If the Vendor fails to give written notice of the conclusion of the Unavoidable Delay in the manner required by paragraph (c) above, then the notice is ineffective, the existing Critical Dates are unchanged, and any delayed occupancy compensation payable under section 7 is payable from the existing Firm Occupancy Date.

(e)Any notice setting new Critical Dates given by the Vendor under this section shall include an updated revised Statement of Critical Dates.

EARLY TERMINATION CONDITIONS

6. Early Termination Conditions

(a)The Vendor and Purchaser may include conditions in the Purchase Agreement that, if not satisfied, give rise to early termination of the Purchase Agreement, but only in the limited way described in this section.

(b)The Vendor is not permitted to include any conditions in the Purchase Agreement other than: the types of Early Termination Conditions listed in Schedule A; and/or the conditions referred to in paragraphs (j), (k) and (l) below. Any other condition included in a Purchase Agreement for the benefit of the Vendor that is not expressly permitted under Schedule A or paragraphs (j), (k) and (l) below is deemed null and void and is not enforceable by the Vendor, but does not affect the validity of the balance of the Purchase Agreement.

(c)The Vendor confirms that this Purchase Agreement is subject to Early Termination Conditions that, if not

satisfied (or waived, if applicable), may result in the termination of the Purchase Agreement.

Yes No

(d)If the answer in (c) above is “Yes”, then the Early Termination Conditions are as follows. The obligation of each

of the Purchaser and Vendor to complete this purchase and sale transaction is subject to satisfaction (or waiver, if applicable) of the following conditions and any such conditions set out in an appendix headed “Early Termination Conditions”:

waived and the Purchase Agreement will continue to be binding on both parties.

(i)If a Purchase Agreement or proposed Purchase Agreement contains Early Termination Conditions, the Purchaser has three (3) Business Days after the day of receipt of a true and complete copy of the Purchase

Agreement or proposed Purchase Agreement to review the nature of the conditions (preferably with legal counsel). If the Purchaser is not satisfied, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, with the Early Termination

Conditions, the Purchaser may revoke the Purchaser’s offer as set out in the proposed Purchase Agreement, or terminate the Purchase Agreement, as the case may be, by giving written notice to the Vendor within those three Business Days.

(j)The Purchase Agreement may be conditional until Closing (transfer to the Purchaser of title to the home), upon compliance with the subdivision control provisions (section 50) of the Planning Act and, if applicable, registration of a related common elements condominium corporation under the Condominium Act, 1998, which compliance shall be obtained by the Vendor at its sole expense, on or before Closing.

(k)The Purchaser is cautioned that there may be other conditions in the Purchase Agreement that allow the Vendor to terminate the Purchase Agreement due to the fault of the Purchaser.

(l)The Purchase Agreement may include any condition that is for the sole benefit of the Purchaser and that is agreed to by the Vendor (e.g., the sale of an existing dwelling, Purchaser financing or a basement walkout). The Purchase Agreement may specify that the Purchaser has a right to terminate the Purchase Agreement if any such condition is not met, and may set out the terms on which termination by the Purchaser may be effected.
