But the units in M3 are smaller than in M2, the newer the building the smaller the units in them Not a "complete mess", just one bad mistake of paying off the mortgage on the Superintendent Suite. It will soon be rectified by selling it and having a daytime only Superintendent here.

They are going to be selling the Superintendent Suite to pay for the special assessment, it's a two bedroom unit

Condo Meeting O.K. Here's the 411 on the Condo Meeting. It was nasty, lot's of shouting and screaming going on which is to be expected when money is involved . I would also like to add that it was hot as h*** in that room and I was sweating bullets and unbelievably others were happily sitting...

Metro Place is becoming World famous, maybe prices will begin to rise hopefully here ? I know that both " Bitten " and " Beauty and the Beast " are filmed here in Toronto . Maybe this is how M 3 and M 4 are making extra money to avoid Special Assessments like we have here in M 1 and M 2 ...

That's because the sign is only visible to males, lol

Where do they put this "neon light", on the inside of their window or hang it from their balcony ? I read that this is happening in every Condo building in Toronto ,so it is not that unusual .

but isn't it the same in all Condo buildings and not just here , for example there was a Meth lab at Liberty Village condo's, causing an explosion, which blew the doors off the elevator, it was in the news

The reason for that is because if there is a fire in a unit the smoke needs to go out the door. If the door is sealed then the pressure will build up from the smoke and the unit will explode. This is the reason that we have to put up with the smell and not only from cigarette smoke but cooking...

but the meeting is in 2 years time, they wrote 2016 on the paper by mistake instead of 2014, lol Even though a meeting is scheduled there is no guarantee that they will cancel the special assessment. They aren't holding the meeting to cancel the assessment but to explain why they are going...

Yes, you could be right because all I know for sure is that she is an owner, because only owners can sit on the board. It never occurred to me that she could be a non resident owner though.

The Management office is telling me that there will be a meeting scheduled for this regardless of the sign up sheet . I think a notice will be sent out and it sometime this month with management, the board and the buildings accountant answering the questions that residents have about the Special...

Yes, she is still living here

"the group that has gathered 41 signatures" that is Polly . I too only saw two signatures but Polly told me that the other signatures are on another page.

Important news regarding the special assessment The tenants are collecting signatures right at this moment, we need 71 and already have 41 signatures. We are requesting an urgent meeting with the Board as we are questioning the need for this assessment . Our former Board Director, Lilian Chin...

Well, maybe review all the expenditures to see if everything that money is being spent on is needed ? Do we have too many personnel working here, are salaries too high, etc. This isn't a bottomless well to keep paying for everything

The letter puts the blame on minimal increases in the previous years and high cost of utilities and doesn't anticipate this being a regular practice. Also if we maintain a sufficient fund then this should cover an extraordinary expenditure such as roof or heating system in the future and...

Special Assessment There doesn't seem to be much concern over this, so this must mean either one of two things. Either $600 isn't that big of an amount these days or that everyone is able to absorb this added cost ? What if next time there is a special assessment of $10,000 for a roof, would...

Yes, a nice Christmas present for all of us . Time to pack and head for the hills if this is an indication of things to come. Though the letter says that this is a one time assessment, the truth is ,that as buildings age ,the assessment keeps getting larger and larger and this building is only...

Another scary elevator incident ! So I got on the elevator in M1 and pressed G. The elevator stopped at floor 5 where a woman got on , then the elevator did not want to move and also would not open the door to let us off . To add to the scare factor the alarm would not sound as well. I don't...

I am not sure who is responsible for the window maintenance because if the windows belong to the building, then they should have to pay for the handle. On one occasion I was charged $50 for the crank handle but on another occasion I didn't have to pay to have the lever replaced ( that's the...
