Ignoring
letters Owners ignoring letters from the manager, board or the corporation lawyer—especially the corporation lawyer—are begging for a lot of trouble. |

Hiring
inexperienced lawyers This is wonderful. You can get a deal by using a distant relative, your real estate lawyer or somebody a friend recommends. This lawyer is not experienced in condo law but you won't mind he or she charging you $300 an hour or more to learn the Condo Act at your expense. Will you? If you lose, well just think about what a great deal you would have got if you had won. |

Ignoring
legal advice You hire a good lawyer who tells you to pay the $700 for the legal letter and then sell you unit and get out. Oh, no! That is not want you want to hear. You want to fight a case you probably cannot win. |

Failing
to seek a settlement Always be willing to compromise. Judges look to see if the loser, and that can be you, tried to settle when they decide legal costs. |
