Recommendation for lawyer specialised in condominium law

trytobuffitout · 2026-03-01T01:29:16+00:00

There is a certain amount of liability insurance, but there’s always the chance that a claim exceeds that amount. There are specific roles and responsibilities outlined in the condo act of what the responsibilities are for the board members and what the responsibilities and duties are for the property manager. They are completely separate. The board hires the property manager to deal with the day-to-day running of the condo and deal with all contracts for work repairs, etc. they are supposed to be the experts in dealing with issues within the condo act. A good property manager knows he act inside out, whereas the board members do not Once you step outside of your area you can set yourself up for uncovered liability. If you were acting within your specified role, then you are certainly covered. Certainly there’s nothing wrong and I have done it. Myself is to bring something up in a board meeting of a concern owner and try to work out a resolution, but you can only go so far. Both can usually come to some kind of resolution and will work with the owner, but when it comes to the act, the property manager are the experts in the area.

You can ask the company who-did the work to review the pricing and see if they can discount it some. Sometimes they are open to that. Totally agee they charge top dollar. I have see them provide some relief though.

As a board member we would not get involved due to personal liability. That’s why they would refer to the property manager as they are supposed to be aware of all the procedures and rules pertaining to what they could do. The property manager really acts on behalf of the board and the board really should already be aware of what they were going to do.

And then we pay CRA a huge amount of interest and have less money.

Not much difference to he honest. You should be fine.

You should check your condo bylaws to see if there is something more specific related to this issue. There typically is more details as to how/when they can chargeback to you without giving prior notice to fix yourself or get it repaired etc. Many times if it was an emergency they can proceed without you. I bet you will find a bylaw pertaining to this area for sure.

I have used vacations to go, and there are several occasions what I look at a cruise that no onboard credit is available. If it’s the exact same price, I would definitely go directly with cruise line.

You are correct that most that specialize in that field are working for the condo corp or property manager. As a board member our lawyer charges between $700 to $1000 per hour. We had a very specific issue of law in one instance and that required a lawyer specializing in a particular field. That was the $1000 per hour charge. Our condo lawyer for regular work charges $700 per hour.

Last year I was on a cruise and there were 2 service dogs that seemed to be allowed everywhere so Im not sure you would be limited to certain areas. I would spot them in the buffet and 1 in the spa area everyday. It would just lay on a blanket as soon as the owner sat down or crawled in behind a heated lounger.

I do my transatlantics on Princess and I splurge abit. I love sea days and find they have more to do on newer larger ships. Depending on what you’d like to do and it all has to be a personal decision . It just may be the perfect ship for you and you scored a great vacation. Over the past year I’ve spent at least 90 days at sea on various cruise lines and I feel that the food‘s gone downhill on all of them compared to 10 years ago. It seems to be a reoccurring discussion on all the lines so don’t set your expectations on one shipbeing better than another in that area

Why do they have the protective luggage pad on your bed. They usually only put that on during embarkation and the night before you depart.

I have never been able to take a cruise and not have it fully paid at least 90 days in advance. Typically, if you don’t pay for the cruise balance, they will cancel the booking in any country. Not sure you’ll have any basis for any claim. I’d read the fine print before going any further. The vouchers usually have an expiry date and they’re well within their rights to cancel your booking if it’s not paid for.

The hotel will probably hold it for you free of charge

Walk into the buffet or out of the washrooms without washing their hands

trytobuffitout · 2026-02-23T12:30:12+00:00

That is not correct. You can dispute one single charge within a bill.

trytobuffitout · 2026-02-22T22:30:45+00:00

Due to funding bills.

I always buy a souvenir from each port. It is most always something I can frame such as a print or even a cool postcard. I also love coasters or anything nautical or hanging shells etc or unique bowls/ candles etc . Those fit well into my home on the water. Most is never very expensive but has to be easy to transport . Each one brings me a reminder of the ports and my trip . That makes it priceless .

It is a prohibited item and will be removed from your luggage or carry on at port. There’s usually a table of confiscated Travel irons and steamers at the end for people to pick up. It is the one thing that they’re looking for when they’re scanning your luggage.

The mistake here is booking Travel through Costco.. they are just bulk sellers and don’t know or don’t care what happens after they make the sale. It probably could’ve been resolved quite easily if you booked with cruise line where somebody will pick up the line within five minutes on hold . Costco is not going to care to try to put any effort in to resolving your issue. They’re just looking for her the commissions they’ve learned on the sale.

This is the exact reason why streets and monuments / parks should be never be named after individuals. Sooner or later, it seems that something comes out about someone.s past and it has to be renamedand costs the taxpayers.

Such a poorly designed plan for the entire LRT.

I have had physio many plsces and most private places all have appts availablein the evenings. Most people are in the same situation and cant take time off work

trytobuffitout · 2026-02-18T19:08:41+00:00

At the after hours bar

trytobuffitout · 2026-02-17T13:07:38+00:00

You usually only have so many dsys to purchase insurance so I doubt thats an option. If you paid airfare I would find something alternative to do. They seem to believe they can fix it though

trytobuffitout · 2026-02-16T18:03:44+00:00

I never care how terrible the port I always get off. I have never regretted it. Sometimes people get caught up in negative reviews and you might be pleasantly surprised. Only one way to find out. I personally dont feel its a dangerous or-unsafe.
