CONDOMINIUM
Buying a Condominium is very different from buying a single-family dwelling. When buying a Condominium you are buying not only a home, but a portion of the common property. You are buying a share in a corporation.

As with all businesses, some are very well-run, but unfortunately, many are not.
Buying a home is one of the biggest
investments you will ever make. So, how can you determine if a particular condominium corporation is well-run and will deliver the lifestyle you desire? |

Sections 39(6), 44, & 45 of the Condominium Property Act and Section 31(1) of the Regulation to the Act specify certain documents and information that must be provided to any Owner, Purchaser or Mortgagee within 10 days of a written request. |
