I'm just asking because I'm just wondering if it is normal that they carry out such demand. I know that lifts don't come cheap and so on. But it would be appropriate to get opinions from tenants if they agree to do so only then only make the decision. Thank you for your answers. And of course I know maintenance money is for cleaners etc etc. I'm just getting opinions on how normally a condo get on these stuffs. Hehe. And recently they just installed smoke detectors in each unit which also costed a sum of money. Whatever it is, I still think it is better if they have asked our opinions to make a decision as not every one can just come out for example 5k on the spot when the notice is given.

current leasehold condo need to pay additional sinking fund for reno/upgrading building.
eg the owner pay by installment for 12 months might change to 36 months.

if new buyer enter to buy, who pay the additional sinking fund? pro-rate or
seller need to settle the full amount of additional sinking fund before consent letter? 

thanks.
