Let’s pick up where we left off Wednesday’s discussion about the “rules and regulations” regarding your condominium’s garbage chute.
We’ll take this a step further, and look those utterly useless and laughable notices posted by your condo’s property manager.
You know the ones I’m talking about, right?
We see them every night when we come home, and we look at them and say, “Are they serious?”

The most common complaint I hear among condo owners is always something to do with garbage.

But your own individual unit is finished, and now the developer gives you “occupancy” of the unit, while construction continues on the rest of the building.
Allow me to demonstrate…

I don’t want this to come off as shameless self-promotion, but I do want to inform everybody of the CBC’s documentary on Toronto condominiums that is airing on Thursday night at 9:00pm.
It’s not a “condo bashing” piece, but it’s not pushing the real estate agenda either.
I’ve been involved with this project since the beginning, and I can’t wait to see what they’ve put together.
Here’s a preview of the documentary, and my comments to further explain the program below…
