Condo Law and other Nonsense
Sorry if this has been covered in some other thread. My search skills suck. I'd rather just add this to an existing thread than start a new one. However...
I understand a bit about condo law, enough to never want to own one. Once bylaws are registered and enforceable, if a fine is levied against someone, it is task of the board to collect the fine. So if they want to get paid they have to initiate the legal action.
The question I have is what does the condo board have to provide as evidence of an infraction? It seems like you can just call, complain, and the person gets a fine. Can a board win a case involving a bylaw infraction and consequently enforce a penalty or fine with absolutely no evidence other than people saying, for example, a certain dog is barking? There's no photos or videos or recordings or anything. Just one word against the other. Seems like a patently unwinable issue for the board yet they seem to go this route quite often.
Any other complaints about condo boards? Maybe this could be a mega thread some day.
