STILL MORE judgments at the Biblitz B.C. Law
Review also updated daily at facebook.
Case summaries and omments on condo judgments from B.C. Provincial Small
Claims Court beginning October, 2010, including a decision that could make it a lot easier for some condo owners to use
the premises as a bawdy house if sex trade workers and their advocates succeed in a challenge to allow public prostitution. Also,
rock star/Wall Street banker-sized legal fees even for a small claim, and more.
How and why so many buyers are trying to escape condos in Bob Rennie's overpriced
Millennium Water / Olympic Village billion-dollar boondoggle, featuring
experimental new building technologies in a city where construction mo'feshnuls are most notable for a decades-old 'leaky condo' epidemic
and with a mixture of competing land interests in a province that provides virtually no guidance to consumers despite such a history of
housing failure.
Yet another building is implicated in B.C.'s decades-old 'leaky condo' epidemic. Vancouver's once vibrant downtown West End is
now a war zone of mysterious echoing canyons shrouded in green netting punctuated with mostly empty coffee joints, a neighborhood like
so many others on the Lower Mainland decimated in the Noughties by leaky highrises.
Think Safety indeed. Safety and sustainability if by sustainability one means lodgings that keep the weather out for at
least one generation!

Submit a condo inquiry.
A 21-page report by Leo Biblitz, LLB, representing more than seven years' moderating the non-profit consumer advocacy site,
www.bccondos.ca, to give prospective condo buyers everywhere all the information we wish we would have had when Biblitz bought his own leaky condo in Kitsilano in the
early '90s!
What every buyer entering the shark-infested condo market should know about maintenance, interpreting
strata records and, most important, other owners.
Although it's aimed primarily at B.C., the report provides a framework the prudent consumer may apply to assess condo legislation,
rules and construction issues in just about any jurisdiction where there are condos!
This report will show readers where there are often gaps in strata records and sellers' representations. At the very least, you'll
know what questions to ask to ensure price adequately/accurately reflects buyer's risk.
The report is available for sale as a pdf at a price of $25 (twenty-five Canadian dollars). Download the report as soon as you
complete the easy, secure PayPal payment process. It's that simple!
The report is intended for individual use only. Distribution/republication is prohibited; however, pricing for distribution of
the report to a wider audience, such as a strata corporation, is also available from the Webmaster. Please send inquiries to
