Robitaille responded by having his tub's water tested against the city's H2O. The test showed the city's tap water contained more chlorine than that of the hot tub
I'm no lawyer here in the states much less Canada, but it seems to me that the condo association should be responsible for this gentleman's legal fees. Is he entitled to sue the HOA in order to collect his legal expenses? Doesn't seem right to me if he can't.
I think the bottom line is that an HOA is another "government". You can see the rules before you buy. If you don't like the rules, don't buy in the development.
Sounds good in theory, but most HOA covenants I have seen are about the size of a phone book for a large city! Nearly impossible to read and understand. These HOA hold all the power, they have an endless supply of money- usually with an attorney already on the payroll. Just my 2 cents
