Yes you can sue the condo corp.
Debra Thal (username) :
They are liable as the damaged roof cause this.
Debra Thal (username) :
So send them a demand letter setting out what you want them to pay and give them a deadline.
Debra Thal (username) :
And tell them if they fail to comply you will commence legal proceedings and will be seeking interest and your costs.
Debra Thal (username) :
And then you can sue them for up to $25,000 in Small Claims Court and can self-represent.
Debra Thal (username) :
If it gets that far you can post on this site again if you need some help and I am happy to assist you further.
