I've only heard townhomes referred to as 'condos.' Legal classification > my passing knowledge, though. |
See..I live in a 'townhouse' but because it's at the bottom of a condo, it's really a condo...
Most townhouses are freehold though which means that they don't pay fees and are responsible for their own.. everything... |

not if you pay condo fees.
condos = such a waste of $$$. |
yes but do you call it your condo or your apartment if you rent??
And about the waste, agreed but it suits some people more than owning a home... |

The upkeep can be a bitch on a home for sure, and it is more expensive to maintain, but at the end of the day owning a piece of land is where it is at investment wise. Some condos are built like a house of cards, yet they still fetch big bucks brand new...it is insane. Also: privacy and i can't live with people attached to me because i'm a neighbor.
I guess i'd say i was subletting an apartment from the guy who owns the condo...except i don't wear condos;) |

its considered a condominium if the building is part of a condo corp. Which means its collective group of individuals who own a equal amount of common elements and land and each person owns their own unit within the complex or land. an apartment is usually owned by an investor who rents out the apartments to make money on his investment.
If youre renting a condo its still a condo. if one or even a collective own the building, its not under a condo corp, and theyre renting it out, it is an apartment |

I was wondering what all of you were on about in this thread, but then wikipedia told me that in North America the term "cottage" means holiday home. |
:wtf: was wondering the same thing. Also, if you're ever in New Zealand and someone invites you to their bach (pronounced "batch"), it means holiday home.

nah, it's one of those "scare the birds away plastic owls" left by the previous owner.
you can see how effective it is by the bird poo along the railing next to it. :rolleyes:
no big deal though, all kittehs are natural bird watchers- me included. |
