Beyond the text
What this means for your estate
- Any fee your estate might charge a resident for an access request under s.23(1)(b)(ii), or that the Regulator charges for a code-of-conduct complaint under s.63(3), must be a fee the Minister has actually prescribed under this section (subsection (1)), you can't set your own arbitrary access-request fee.
Relevant tool
PopiGuard's resident request workflow only applies fees actually prescribed under s.111, never an arbitrary charge that could itself become a compliance issue.
