Man alive, the crap I hear from condo associations, makes me wonder why anyone would live in one. My sister-in-law lives in a Pointe of View condo with a condo association run by .. I don't know how to else to describe it ... insane people. Apparently, after 2, maybe 3 years after the building was built, they've decided that the whole complex needs to be re-stucco'd and they're trying to extort I guess about $6000 out of each resident or they will "foreclose". How can they foreclose??? They can't, but to even make the threat is just plain absurd.
Down in the parkade where the storage rooms are, I guess her neighbour's storage room got broken into, and the resident couldn't care less to get her door fixed. So of course my sister-in-law feels exposed because there's only a flimsy chain link fence separating the rooms and the neighbour couldn't be bothered to get the door lock fixed. What can you do?? Man, I couldn't live like that. And all it takes is for one smoker to drop a butt in bed and who knows what happens, or a toilet overhead to overflow .... nooooo thank you. Tease me all you like about suburbia and white picket fences, no worries. I feel so bad for people just starting off on their own these days what with the real estate prices being so ridiculous and the rentals being even worse...
Albert, I have no idea what to suggest, best of luck to your friend. I'm sure this can be fought, but I imagine it will be a very unfun ordeal.
