  <content>&lt;p&gt;Many condominium corporations have experienced &amp;ldquo;the unit owner&amp;nbsp;from hell&amp;rdquo;, sometimes called a &amp;ldquo;condo commando&amp;rdquo;, who is either a person with mental health issues, or simply someone with too much time on his or her hands.&amp;nbsp;These people are &amp;ldquo;difficult&amp;rdquo; people who make life miserable for those who become the targets of their attention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The question is: &lt;i&gt;What can you do to either bring these people into line, or force them to move ?&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The issue is not just one of unnecessary aggravation.&amp;nbsp;There is also a concern over liability because as the &amp;ldquo;occupier&amp;rdquo; of the common elements, a condominium corporation has the legal obligation to ensure that the common elements are reasonably safe.&amp;nbsp;This is a real concern if your resident condo commando exhibits any signs of violence or instability.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;We have had great success in dealing with these problem owners, ranging from restraining orders to court orders requiring them to sell their units.&amp;nbsp;In most cases, there are effective steps that we can recommend to assist your condominium corporation.&amp;nbsp;For further information, contact &lt;a href=&quot;/lawyers/jonathan-fine&quot;&gt;Jonathan Fine&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;</content>
