I will concentrate on news of interest to Frobisher Place owners or condo dwellers in general. Updates may appear on our home page or the tips page.

The CAO has listed on its website the ten most common issues relating to condominium living:

1. Records
2. Meetings
3. Rules
4. Personal Property
5. Noise
6. Pets
7. Odour
8. Issues with Condominium Manager
9. Neighbour to neighbour
10. Short-term rentals

For each issue the CAO website sets out:

• An overview of the issue;
• How the issue is dealt with in the legislation and/or the condominium declaration, rules and by-laws;
• Suggested solutions (primarily self-help remedies) to resolve the problem in an orderly manner;
• Additional help alternatives such as mediation, arbitration and legal proceedings that can be used when the issue has not been resolved using self-help remedies.

The CAO also provides owners with a sample letter/e-mail for owners to use when contacting the condominium corporation about an issue.
