I am currently running a babysitting service out of my home. I now have the board breathing down my back stating that I am causing extra liability to the corporation due to extra children and parent traffic. As well I am making profit from common expenses. The water is part of my condo fees; I do not pay for it separately. They have told me I have until June 06 to close down my babysitting business. They are putting together a new rule and bringing up at the annual general meeting. Can they do this to me? What is my legal right as a home owner? they need a bylaw? How many must be in favour? | download |
