Real estate hype about condo repair and maintenance

Here is yet another example of real estate puffery that leads unwary condo purchasers down the path of despair: http://www.myfirsthome.com/article32.html. Scroll down to the part about maintenance-free living:

· The biggest advantage of a condominium is the lifestyle. You're buying the ability to spend your time doing things other than home repair and maintenance chores. You can walk out the door, lock it and forget about having to do anything. That's because the condo corporation looks after cutting the grass, shovelling snow, removing the garbage, fixing the roof, painting the exterior, etc. for you.

Yeah, right.
