I'm looking to maybe buy a condo, seems like Id have to give up entirely on BBQing if I do lol.
My mind is also blown at the number of condos that restricts rentals, pets and even kids.
It is terrible. I am not enough of a baller to buy detached so this is what I have settled on. Thankfully I found a place that has a bit more of a relaxed attitude in most areas. Some places were absolutely insane.
This was the only building that allowed BBQ'S. According to my realtor it is more common with newer buildings. The handful of others I looked at did not allow barbecues or have additional restrictions regarding them.
This strata allows two pets, but dogs can not be over 50 pounds. Imagine shelling out the big bucks only to not have the option to get a dog/cat if you wanted to later on. I did not even consider anything that did not allow pets.
Rentals are not allowed in this building. Every property I looked at had rental restrictions. Often there is a waiting list to be permitted to rent out your unit because only xx amount of units within a strata can be rented out at a time.
This is in itself creates part of the problem with lack of affordable housing in my opinion. from what I have been told a lot of Strata's are having to deal with owners using their property as a BNB. Most strata agreements did not specifty those conditions because airBNB did not exist back then. That is is causing problems
in some of the nicer buildings. My place would not be nice enough to use for a BNB lol.
