Resident Funds used for Commercial Owner Expenses

The commercial owner has refused to pay thousands of dollars in outstanding amounts they owe to the Spadina Condominium Corporation. Further, they have rejected all requests for a review of invoices following a resident review of 2014 invoices where some $30,000 in inappropriate expenses were either paid or submited for payment at the time. Thousands more in illicit or inappropriate expenses since that review are suspected.

Subsequent to that review, the commercial owner refused to pay their share of Reserve Fund expenditures as are outlined below. Obviously, a further resident review is urgently required.
