CONDO maintenance - BEWARE

Post by richard »

I thought I'd post this as a warning to any new condo owners/long term renters regarding condo maintenance. It may not apply to all condos.

I'm commencing a refurbishment of my long term rental property with the permission of the condo owner. The maintenance is mainly painting, decorating and replacement of a few items. It does not involve any construction work involving noise and movement of rubble.

I have hit a brick wall called 'condo management' :banghead: It is a rule that construction work on the condos is restricted to low season so as to not inconvenience high season visitors. I can appreciate that.

I have pointed out that there will be no noise and no smell as my condo has three large balcony door which will be adequate for ventilation. I have yet to sit down and discuss the matter with the management as they are on holiday :roll: but my view is that if it comes to the crunch, my workmen will become house-guests and what I do within the confines of my condo is my business and my business alone. All materials for the job are already in the condo so if push really comes to shove I could do it myself (if I can remember how):laugh:

Richard why not have a painting party could be great fun and a novel way of getting your work done for the price of some food and booze mate.
