Read all relevant documents before buying a condo
Dear Condo Smarts: We bought an investment condo to rent in July.
We contacted the property manger and obtained a Form B and a Form F before we decided to go ahead with the purchase. At the time, our agent told us this was sufficient information and once we had a firm signed deal, we could get the minutes and financials and take our time reading them.
We rented our unit out on Sept. 1, and on Sept. 5, we received a bylaw violation notice from our strata council advising that rentals were not permitted in our building according to the bylaws filed in 2006, and that we must evict our tenant or face a fine of $500 per week until the tenant was evicted.
