🌿 Mental Health Awareness and Workplace Burnout 🌿

Let's face it, property management is rewarding... and demanding. Burnout can build when the workload is constant and boundaries aren’t in place or don't feel respected. It's important that we talk about it and implement ways to manage burnout at any workplace.

Tips to help manage burnout at work:
✨ Set boundaries + communication hours
⏸️ Take regular breaks
📵 Use an after-hours emergency process so you can unplug
⚖️ Focus on balance, not just “pushing through” - It’s not about working harder—it’s about working sustainably
📝 Stay professional, document abusive messages, and escalate when needed
🤝 Seek support
🧠 Pay attention to early warning signs - Constant fatigue, irritability, or lack of motivation can be early warning signs

Burnout isn’t a personal failure—it’s a signal that something needs to change. Small, consistent adjustments make the biggest difference.

Let’s keep building respectful communities, for residents, boards, vendors and the people supporting them every day. 💚

Condominium insurance can be confusing, and there are often grey areas that only become clear once you’ve gone through a claim. Understanding what’s covered, and what isn’t, before something happens can save a lot of stress down the road.

The CAO (Condominium Authority of Ontario) has shared an excellent breakdown of the basics to help owners better understand condominium insurance:

If you’re unsure about what type of insurance coverage you should have for your unit, or how your personal policy works alongside the corporation’s insurance, don’t hesitate to reach out to your property manager. We’re always here to help guide you. 😊

Wondering how your condo fees are calculated? 🧾

They're not split evenly across units. Instead, each unit has a set percentage listed in Schedule D of your condo’s declaration, usually based on the size of the unit.

Your monthly fee is calculated by multiplying the condo’s total annual budget by your unit’s percentage, then dividing that number by 12.

Don’t forget, paying your condo fees on time is important. If you don’t, your corporation can place a lien on your unit.
