[edit] Condominium (housing) → Condominium

I redirected "Condominium law" to "Condominium (housing)". The former appears to be an old copy of the latter. The latter is more complete and appears to contain everything the former did excepting an off site link presenting in a non-NPOV way. Alan De Smet 18:50, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Might consider adding a section on cultural connotations that condominiums have picked up over the years, esp. with regard to construction quality, gentrification, etc. Paytonc 00:15, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

If you look at Special:Whatlinkshere/Condominium you'll see that all the linking pages want Condominium (housing) and none want Condominium (international law), and as the latter article points out, "few [international condominiums] have existed in practice". So it makes sense for the housing law article to be at Condominium with a note at the top pointing to Condominium (international law). Gdr 23:22, 2005 Jan 3 (UTC)

The UK now has commonhold, after the recent Leasehold and Commonhold Reform Act (though I don't know if it's come into force yet)--some mention of this might be appropriate... 64.103.37.72 17:36, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Outside North America

More should be written about condominiums outside North America. What about Europe and Asia? --Kalmia 08:30, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

This is related to the problem that the article doesn't even mention and didn't even have a link to housing cooperative. --Espoo 18:13, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation

I changed the [[Development]] link, which is linked to a Disambiguation page, to [[Subdivision (land)|Development]]; it was changed back to [[Development]] and ultimately deleted altogether. Perhaps the Gated community link would be better? Please don't revert an edited link back to a disambiguation page, though; if nothing else fits, just leave it as unlinked. Thanks.—Chidom talk  23:33, 8 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Alberta, Canada

With the current boom in Alberta due to oil sands development and very low unemployment rate, more information about Alberta should be added.--68.149.31.252 19:33, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alberta And Canadian Condominiums

Under references I added a link to the Alberta legislation governing condomuinium property.

I kind of, sort of, agree with the person who suggested expanding discussion of condominium ownership in Canada to include Alberta as well as Ontario. I think this needs to go much, much farther. I'm sure there are a lot of condominiums in British Columbia (I keep getting brochures for condo projects in BC stuffed in my Alberta mail box), and there are probably condominiums in every province in Canada. And the legislation covering condominiums is provincial.

At the same time, while condos are provincially regulated, I expect there is a lot in common from one province to another. So the Canada - Ontario section could be replaced with a single section for Canada that covers the general Canadian picture, with maybe major key differences among the provinces being pointed out.

[edit] Discussion heading?

I'm not sure what exactly the discussion is under the discussion heading. Would it make more sense to remove the heading altogether or come up with a more encyclopedic title (such as Overview or something similar)? Strandist 17:30, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

How was ownership of an apartment building handled among several owners, before condominiums? -- Beland (talk) 17:32, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Legal disclaimer needed?

Parts of this page might be considered as describing legal matter which in turn may require the usual legal disclaimer. 217.229.63.123 (talk) 22:53, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, if parts of the page may be describing a legal matter, a legal disclaimer might be needed.--DavidD4scnrt (talk) 20:31, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
