because condominium complexes are controlled by the owners the facilities are generally well looked after as the tenants personally live there and want the facilities to be kept in a good condition. Developers who own apartment complexes may not be as interested in keeping the condition of facilities perfect because they do not have to use them. 
 

Many people also prefer the advantage of dealing with a condo owner rather than apartment developers as it is much more personal and you will usually get much more attention and more time will be put into making sure you are satisfied with your home. 
 

There is also often a good community feel in a condominium over an apartment complex. Because in an apartment complex no one actually owns their home there will be less sense of community and there will be people coming and going at all times. In a condominium there will be many people who own their own homes and have lived there for many years. 


 

In Ontario, condominiums are protected under the Condominium Act 1998 which ensures that you are covered whilst you are living there by the law. The Act means that all condominiums must establish a corporation to deal with maintenance and repairs that means that you can be certain all the facilities will be kept in good condition during your stay there. 
 

Other Advantages of Condo Rental

Renting a condo is a lifestyle choice and there are many advantages over other types of residence. They are generally much cheaper than renting a detached home and you can get the same square footage for a much lower price. Many condominium complexes, and indeed apartment buildings, have facilities that you may otherwise not be able to afford if you rented a home such as a swimming pool, gymnasium, playground and more.The final advantage to renting a condo is that you do not need to worry about looking after the lawn or common areas as your rent will include maintenance fees.
