Actually, in condominiums/high rise or not, the Board of Trustees hires the property manager or management company and it is paid for by the residents/owners who pay condo fees. But, I know what you mean. Some people have no life and they concern themselves with the most unimportant things. This is part of what I don't like about living in a complex.

I just realized Diane, that you are in Australia. I was wondering about the condo/aprtment thing. We call ours balconies too, but because we have 7 oversized decks on the first floor of one of our buildings, I call it a patio.

I don't think I would like to be on the top floor of a high rise. I don't even like the 7th floor of this building.
