Condo corporations are not-for-profit organizations who rely on owners paying their “condo fees” on time. They also need to be able to charge back to owners expenses that specific owners impose on the Corporation. If owners fail to make these payments, the rest of the innocent owners suffer. Having said that, not all chargebacks are valid. We have seen far too much abuse, which have forced owners and condo corps to face off in court.
This webinar tackles this thorny topic of condo liens and chargebacks.
