condominium: Condo Rules are Not Unreasonable. - 08/31/10 09:54 AM
During a conversation with my condo's building manager, she stated that a few residents have told her they don't like all the notices that are put up reminding people about the by-laws. The most recent notices are: pick up after your dog, don't let dogs pee in the parking garage, and steps to follow to keep the building secure. I responded that if people were following the by-laws, rules and regulations to begin with, there would be no need for the reminders. Now, in general, most by-laws, rules and regulations in a condominium corporation are no different than any other rule … (10 comments)

condominium: Security Matters - 08/25/10 05:51 PM
I live in a high-rise condominium apartment building.

condominium: Ever Notice in a Condominium.... - 01/08/10 10:51 AM
Just recently I moved into a Condominium.
The people here are fantastic. For the most part they are helpful and friendly and it's almost like living in a small community inside the city.
But the biggest thing I've noticed that most of the people here seem to be fit.
Could it be because an exercise room and a Sauna are part of the common areas?
Yeah, that could be why.
Could it be because people in condominiums live less of a stressful life than those who have to maintain a detached house (no snow-shovelling; garbage is taken of, etc.)?
Yeah, that … (8 comments)
