Maintenance Plan: Myth or Reality?

After much (and I mean much) nagging, we’re finally holding our next Condo Adviser webinar — and by popular demand, the topic is exactly this: The Maintenance Plan.

We’ve all heard of it. Everyone talks about it. Some even swear they’ve seen one in the wild. But for most condo directors (and managers), the elusive Maintenance Plan feels more like a unicorn than a working document.  Well, it’s time to separate myth from reality.

Topics

• Does every condo need a maintenance plan?
• What does it actually look like?
• Who prepares it?
• Who’s responsible to follow it?
• Is the RFS an adequate maintenance plan?
• How do we stop talking about it and actually start creating/using one?

If you’ve ever wondered whether a maintenance plan is a legal requirement, a best practice, or just a bedtime story told to condo boards, this is the session for you.
