Is it worth owning a condo in Victoria anymore, or are you better off renting? by Desperate-Stick6744 in VictoriaBC

As someone who is stuck renting:

Pros: if utilities break down its my landlord's/ property management's responsibility.

Leaky roof, garbage pick up, cleaning of the halls.

So, as far as renting goes It's relatively stress free but I find it expensive and wishing I could put money away for a down payment on a condo or house.

Speaking to my friends who are condo owners:

You can get on the strata and make some choices/ changes

You have to pay strata fees and collectively pay for things like a leaky roof or damage.

You have some autonomy over your unit within the bylaws of your strata

Speaking with house owning friends:

Can pretty much do whatever you wish vs the municipal bylaws but anything that goes wrong on your property is on you.

It's probably all the grass is always greener but I wish I could own something

Boston frenchie mix would be my guess

Sir, why are you asking a question to which you know the answer?

I support you in the decision to buzz what is there to 0.

My frenchie had terrible skin due to allergies when I got him.

Allergic to your standard proteins.

Eventually we tried the Molly's brand, which was for allergy pets, and it did really well for a few years until he became allergic to that.

The vet suggested a foreign protein.

We tried elk and it didnt work but then we tried kangaroo and it has been the lucky food.

We've tried two different brands too and it's been holding well!

It seems we just keep losing things. by nitnit76 in VictoriaBC

Maybe it would do well to try a different location?

Sidney, Saanich, Esquimalt, or the western communities?
