In some ways, a condo community works like a small municipality. The owners of each unit are members of the condo corporation and have the right to vote at meetings (1 vote per unit).
An elected board of directors, like a town council, makes decisions on behalf of the owners, and often hires staff or contractors to carry out the work. Just as towns have a town manager; condominiums often have a condominium manager.
The condominium manager is responsible for providing the following services:
- Property management
- Finance management
- Corporation records management
- Conducting reserve fund study
- Providing repairs and maintenance where applicable
- Responding and acting on owners complaints
- all other related matters
