Thinking about buying a condo? Living in one? You need to read this blog!

My good friend Chris Jaglowitz of Gardiner Miller Arnold LLP (“The Condo Lawyers”) is a lawyer whose practice is restricted to condominium law. As the condominium market in Toronto has been booming for the past several years, Chris is busier than ever. Amazingly, he still finds time to write a blog on condominium law.

The blog features topics such as case studies, construction deficiency issues, condo rules and by-laws, and news and events. It is a rich source of helpful tips on buying a condo. (“Read before Leaping – Read the Rules First,” posted November 20, 2008) It also discusses some of the challenges of owning and living in a condo in Ontario. (“Educate Owners about Insurance,” posted December 1, 2008)

It’s vitally important to understand that owners and occupants in modern condominiums must obey the rules, declarations, and by-laws of their condominium boards. Long gone are the days of condominium owners being “king of their castles.” The governing legislation in Ontario, the Condominiums Act, 1998, recognizes the fact that hundreds or thousands of individuals often reside in the same building, and that unit occupants and owners are entitled to the right of quiet enjoyment of their properties. As such, the condo board’s rules and decisions are necessary and must be respected.

Chris brings “trouble spots” of condo law to the reader’s attention. His writing is concise and accessible. The articles are short and to the point. If you’re thinking about buying a condo, or living in one, you need to read this blog.
