> Condominiums

Owning a condominium is different from owning other types of property because different, specified parts of a whole building are owned by different people and because common space is shared. Before purchasing a condominium, it is important to understand how shared ownership interests are structured and to understand your responsibility for your part of the whole. Understanding the limitations and restrictions inherent in condo ownership is essential, as is understanding how governance of the condomium works.

As well, today, as municipalities grapple with the issues of land preservation and the negative impacts of urban and suburban sprawl, higher density developments such as condominiums are becoming ever so popular with municipal planners and the urban landscape. Condominium law is a broad area of law that ranges from development to governance.

PLZ law assists Condominium Developers in all stages of the development process from land assembly, condominium purchase documentation, land registrations and applications, managing deposits, financing and closing.

PLZ law also assists Condominium Corporations in their duties of management from negotiating various agreements with service providers to enforcing condominium rules and regulations. PLZ Law can also assist individuals who have grievances with their Condominium Corporations.
