Yep, looks like it was: http://lunacondo.files.wordpress.com...dec20final.pdf |
I'm pretty impressed by that newsletter - seems like a simple thing but it is a great job on behalf by the Board to keep residents informed as to stuff. As well, they seem on top of the issues, namely the water leaks (that are the bane of all condos, and yes, houses). Lots of other things to consider of course when buying but this simple newsletter is a very good sign.

In a normal economy it's not a huge problem, but in Calgary it's really epidemic lately where you think about buying an over priced condo and calling it home but having to deal with %90 of the building being renters that don't really care about maintaining the place they live in or being a part of a community.

Nope, it's not possible to legally put restrictions on what someone can do with their property. Even the "18 and up" or "65+ residences" wouldn't stand up to a Charter of Rights complaint.
I understand where you're coming from, but renters sometimes get a bad rap unfairly. Lots of good tenants out there. Hell, there are just as many bad apples in a barrel of owners...
