2015 : 350/month 2018-2021 - 460ish/month 2022 revised - 590/month!!!!!

Is this something that is allowed in Ontario?

Main reason cited : lack of reserve funds and gone into the negatives as they had to pay for a recent fire in the complex ( cause by the owners wrongdoing , paid for by the entire townhome complex through a special assessment fee)

Condo corp covers basic stuff ( most of its useless)

• include water
• snow removal
• visitor parking monitoring lol
• water/sewer maintenance

Wondering if there is anything that can be done.

Other townhome complexes in the area with similar aged homes and similar services charge in the 200 to 350 range max

Any help would be appreciated :)

The property management company has not been helpful in providing this information. Where can we look for information to prove the case? If proven, can we go after the President for unpaid fees?

First, please indulge me and my dumb question as I am a suburban kid. I recently started looking as condos on or near Bremner Blvd for ease of walking to work.

Are the $600 - $1000 maintenance fee monthly or yearly? I cannot believe that an 600k - 800k condo is also another $10,000 year over year to own.

I'm condo shopping currently and I'm seeing quite a few condos whose maintenance fees are $1,000/month which, to me, is ridiculous.

I'm a part-time freelancer. In the last few years I've had one client who I do ad-hoc work for on an hourly rate. My client recommended my services to another company who are asking me for a quote for an annual maintenance fee. They sent me a document showing what they're currently getting

Tasks performed:

• Daily Offsite Backups
• 24x7 Uptime Monitoring
• Daily Security Scans
• Fortnightly Core Updates
• Fortnightly Plugin Updates
• Fortnightly Theme Updates
• Fortnightly Site Optimisation
• Monthly Maintenance Report
• Daily Performance Monitoring
• Daily SEO Rank Tracking
• WooCommerce Reporting
• 30 min* of support per month

I wrote a response asking them to tell me how important each of these tasks were to them and pointed out a few that wouldn't be relevant to them.

I also asked if they could give me temporary access so I can see how many plugins they've got, the versions, the theme, what plugins they're using for backups, etc. My plan was to use this data to work out how much to charge monthly/annually for their maintenance.

My prospective client said she would review with her exec team next week and get back to me. But then sent an email that same day asking if I can provide a rough estimate for the annual estimate fee. They need the basics to keep their site running.

What are some methods I can get this annual estimate to them? Without knowing their site setup and plugin setup, I fear I'm going to miscalculate.

My CISA maintenance was priced on the order at $45 but when i got to the billing stage it jumped to $85

My ISACA member expires in over 1 months time.

Am i a victim of the ISACA upgrade or do you have to a greater balance of membership when paying the maintenance fee?

I searched for this and couldn't find other posts about it (sorry if I missed them). I went to buy TSLA stock and it shows a 40% maintenance fee. What does that mean? I've found some sites explaining why stocks have this fee, but not what the fee actually is. Does this mean that 40% of the earnings go to Schwab? What is 40% of (e.g. earnings? cost?), when is it charged and is it perpetual or one time? Here is what I'm talking about:

Hello,

As stated above we are a small company that has started growing recently and need to buy additional Solidworks licenses. We currently have two professional and two premium 2018 licenses and did not pay the maintenance subscription. When we buy new licenses will we need to upgrade all of the 2018 licenses to the most recent release of Solidworks? Is it possible to buy a 2018 license legally so all users are on the same version of Solidworks? Is it important they are all on the same version?

Thanks for any help.

Recently started getting charged $10 a quarter on my 401k account from my old job. Not sure why it started but I know it will add up because I’m not adding to this account anymore due to not being at that job. Was interested in transferring it to my current jobs 401k but I need to work 1000 hours before I am allowed to start it. Any ideas of what I can do to cut that unnecessary loss?

Edit: I understand that the plans have fees and companies pay them while you are working there. Also understand that 1000 hrs is about 6 months, so I will probably just eat the fees until I am able to start my new 401k. Thank you all!

On Friday (or sth around that) Binance has "concluded the promotion" with zero fees to deposit EUR via debit card. As the SEPA transfers are still disabled ("closed for maintenance"), there is now no way to deposit EUR there for free. The fee for using debit card is 1.8% now, way too high. Given that you can transfer USDT as TRC-20 token from Kraken for 2.5 $ (or USDC for 7.5 $ if you get an allergic reaction around Tether) then as long as you deposit more than ~140 € (or ~420 € in case of USDC) you're better off going via another exchange and transfering stablecoins to Binance than paying the 1.8% fee to use debit card. The threshold would be similar for Coinbase, but in there the fee to do the transfer is variable and depends on ETH network fees, but they are usually somewhere between 3 and 10 $.

Hi all!

I have a very niche query here about eligibility and entitlement for Student Finance England Tuition for a second degree.

TL;DR: looking for people's experiences with SFE tuition fee loans and maintenance loans who went back for a second STEM degree after a first bachelor's.

Important: before anyone jumps in to say that second degree funding isn't a thing:

• SFE offers "limited funding" to people seeking a second degree that meets the following criteria: "a part-time Honours degree, a joint Honours degree or an Integrated Master’s degree in one of the following (or 2 if it’s a joint Honours degree)" - it then lists a bunch of subject areas, in which Engineering (all H-class UCAS code degrees) is included.
• Source: https://www.gov.uk/student-finance/who-qualifies

My situation: graduated 2016 with a Humanities degree, went to study abroad but left without the qualification (academia is rubbish, guys), worked for a few years, now returned to the UK and have an unconditional offer to study an MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering (integrated Masters; 4 year course rolling a bachelor's and masters into one). I am 27 and not married (yay) so qualify as an independent/mature student as I don't have parental support.

My question(s) is (are) this (these): on the phone to SFE, an advisor told me that because I had previously studied for a "Level 6" qualification (i.e. Bachelor's), I'd be eligible for funding for the MEng because it's a "Level 7" qualification. Apparently the only thing that matters is that the ultimate qualification is of a higher level than previous study. The advisor also said that I should be eligible for the full maintenance loan amount of £9000some per year; however, online I can only find information about eligibility for student finance for second part time degrees, which is not the case here. True to form, SFE's website is outdated and confusingly and ambiguously worded, so not of much help.

So: does anyone have any personal experiences/information on:

• Whether second STEM degrees are eligible for full time vs part time Tuition Fee Loans ;
• Whether second STEM degrees are eligible for full time vs part time Maintenance Loans;
• Applying for student finance for a second degree as a mature/independent student;
• Using Universal Credit/other State benefits as a financial support during studies, particularly as a mature/independent student.

Literally any info

I was charged $38 when GE did their reverse split the other day. Can someone explain why TD would charge a maintenance fee for that but not a regular split? It seems like either way it's the same dollar value in my account, but the number of shares simply changes. I even had an evenly divisible number of GE shares in my account so I didn't have any fractional after the reverse split.

Edit: @mods sorry if the flair is wrong. Took my best guess for something like this.

(Just wondering) I recently noticed that Notion allows unlimited storage and virtually never clean the images you upload (as long as you have a link to it you can still access it even if you've deleted years before). I wonder if the data would accumulate to a huge figure and bloat our beloved Notion Storage. AFAIK hard disks and backups require real dollars to keep going.

The rest of the world is INOVIO's Oyster!!!!!!......What do you folks think?

I own a suite in an apartment building in Toronto, Canada. Last year, another owner rented out their suite to airbnb, which was expressly against the rules. During their stay, the rental tenants managed to cause millions of dollars in water damage to the building.

Due to these damages, the apartment's insurance premium has nearly doubled. This has made its way to other owners in a form of a huge monthly maintenance fee increase. The increase itself is within a legal limit, but the cause of the fee is frustrating to say the least.

I was wondering if there is any legal action the owners can take against the increased maintenance fee. I'm concerned this sets a precedence, and a future negligent owner could easily cause more damages that would warrant a fee hike again.

Edit: clarifying that I am an owner in this building

If this is confirmed correct, then this is very good news... FX spread is very razor thing for this broker (hence you won't lose at least 50bps when you convert your AUD in either USD, EUR, GBP, etc).

The only drawback is the user interface - it takes a while to get used to the trading screen.

I've been a green member since 2014 but I recently unfroze my membership. Looking around the site, I see the membership at 28 a month and the annual maintenance fee at 55. Before pandemic i was paying 25 a month and 40 for maintenance pre-taxed. I haven't gotten any notice for increased cost so would it be safe to assume I'm going to get billed the same per contracted agreement when I signed up?

Hello! I love living in davisville and after exploring other areas I want to continue staying here (currently renting). This unit meets most of my requirements however I am a bit concerned with the high maintenance fee. As it will continue increasing (past few years this building has seen 4-5%increase annually) will this become an issue when I have to resell?

First time buyer and quite vary of the whole process so any other bits of advice is also much appreciated. Thank you for the help!

The maintenance fee covers road maintenance, but why wouldn’t the city be responsible for that like in the case of detached houses and traditional townhouses? These townhouses don’t even have a reduced property tax, considering the high potl fees. From the ones I’ve seen, it’s over $5000 property tax and $150 - $250 monthly maintenance for townhouses in the suburbs.

Hi guys, i just saw a house in Ancaster and it checks all the boxes. We like the house and may make on offer on it. However, There is one thing that is bothering us - the house has a road maintenance fee of a 130 per month. Now I have heard of freehold houses with road fees, but this one just seems a little high. Given that it only covers snow cleaning and grass cutting off common areas. Do you guys suggest this is worth buying?

1. Is it common to have road fees on freehold properties?

2. How often does this increase?

The last thing i want is for it to increase to such an extent that it feels like paying condo maintenance fees. Would this become about 300 in 2-3 years?

3. At what rate should i plan for the increase?

Anything else i should know about road maintenance fees?
