what made you write the following So you are now telling us that insulation from the dampness is window sealing

you have answered why you wrote the following stupid comment, do you think you should find another hobby d she is actively working on getting him to go back where he came from.

this post was labelled condo management refuse to repair dampness problem so it was a very stupid mistake to get it confused with the ceiling fan post

Please advise me I assume all members of the committee are condo owners In a complex of 300 condos how many people will be on the committee

I thought it was obvious that "the owner" is a reference to the person who owns the complex/the freehold

You quote me as saying "we live on floor 5 of 6 floors" This is not true we live on floor 4 of 16 floors, so either i made a stupid mistake or i lied in which case please tell me where I wrote such a stupid lie and I will apologise .If you cannot find where I wrote "we live on floor 5 of 6 floors" then you will have to accept you are either very stupid or very dishonest and i suggest you should apologise for said faults in your character

please explain your post it looks very stupid

good post

Ok my wife did not pass the info onto to me, but you put false info into your posts, so if I was rely on your info I would be in a worse position than my wife has put me in ie where did I write " the water that was going into his unit is now going into" my apt

I will try to make it simpler for you and you can quote me now i understand I do not know very much but it seems I know more than you. It would seem the whole of the outside wall was not built correctly and certain condos facing the outside wall have had repairs done to the outside wall ....it would seem that the condo complex owner (by way of yearly maintenance fees) paid for repairs to parts of the outside wall and have failed to do repairs to other parts of the outside wall. In the case of the floor above they got fed up waiting for the condo owner to pay for the repairs and decided to pay for the repairs themselves...I never said or wrote the water from the the repaired unit is now going into my unit Please explain or apologise for the insult you made about my wife

please try to explain what you wrote...why did you mention "his wife"

I have been told that the owner does not like being contacted and keeps his contact details a secret........how do I find contact details of the committee

No..... what I am telling you is we do not know, what we do know is we have dampness stains and we called management to repair and they said it was dampness coming in through the walls and do not worry

We have air con but it is not comfortable the condo is new and we live on floor 5 of 6 floors. We asked management if we could put a ceiling fan in and they said yes but the wiring has to be external. Of course this would not be beautiful so can anyone tell me if the wiring does have to be external A few more details the room has four lights but there is no smoke alarm or sprinkler system so there is no problem going around said system

I am british and my wife is thai. It is our intention to visit england and whilst there go on a northern europe cruise. There should be no need for me to get any visas. However, my wife will need a UK visa and I suspect a shengan visa .....is there a way to make the visa problems more easy

Other people in the condo have had the same problem and over 2 days there has been a cradle with 2 people adding insulation. This is definitely a catch 22 situation the condo people do not want to do the job ( until it gets very bad) but they do not like other people working on their condo

The maintenance / management at the condo told us the insulation from the dampness needs to be done again window ceiling i doubt roof repairs it is 10 floor above so i doubt porch issues there is no porch did you read the post??

It is quite a good reply only problem is I have taken said steps and the admin office have ignored my e mails, We lose some information because I do not speak thai and my thai wife does not follow my instructions, and when she receives important information from the office or other residents she fails to pass on said info to me this morning she informed me that that someone on the floor above us had the same problem and gave up waiting for the repairs hence paid for the repairs to be done himself

Well I will help you in that I suggest you should look for the identity of a regulator.......There has to be some kind of regulation.....As it stands management companies are putting some of the money which is paid for repairs into their own pockets ....if there was no regulation the management companies would put all of the repair money into their pockets

if you read the original post you should notice I did not mention the name of the condo ....I have had enough experience to know that calling a person a thief can get me in more trouble than the person will suffer by way of being a thief

AHH the only person who has given a logical answer although I have answered your points in my original posting I will re-iterate. We Live in a corner apt so we have 2 or our four walls open to the elements. The wall that is the only one which comes into play in corner apts has dampness stains which would be worse if we did not use dampness catchers. Last year during the wet season we reported the matter to the CONDO admin office. They admitted liability and said the outside wall which was seeping in the dampness would be repaired as soon as the dry season arrived. The dry season did arrive and nobody came to repair the outside of our apt . We went to an annual meeting and re=iterated our complaint and was told someone would deal with the matter. We returned to the Admin office and was told " we will not repair the wall you should wait until it gets very bad and then claim on your insurance" This answers shows incredible corruption and/or incompetence....ie it has been admitted that it is an outside wall causing the problem so the structural insurance should pay and the structural insurance is paid for by the money paid to the management company. Also it is not storm damage it is damage caused by lack of investment during building and/or lack of regular maintenance We have not gone past the admin office with our complaints...That is why I wrote the original post ie to ascertain who should be contacted if the admin refuse to fix the problem

I have had experience with management companies in England, Ireland , and now in Thailand and I can assure you that a person asking other owners if they have problems with the management will get said person in more trouble than just a dampness/mould problem

give me an alternative obvious reason then we can look objectively at each reason put forward to ascertain which one has the most visibility.....now I do know that the management company lie frequently, but if you read the post that i wrote you will find some evidence which make the word obvious a good word

We own a condo near airport plaza chiangmai and last year stains started ( late in rainy season)to appear on the wallpaper at the point where the condo faces the outside wall of the condo. It is obvious that the stains are cause by lack of insulation from dampness caused by rain. We pay a large amount of money to the condo management in order to keep the condo in good condition hence we showed the dampness problems to said management. At first they admitted it was caused by rain hitting the outside wall and seeping through to our bedroom wall. They suggested we should wait until the dry season and promised they would make the required repairs. It is now at the end of the dry season and nothing has been done so we contacted them again, and this time they told us to wait until it gets worse and then make a claim on our insurance. Of course it is not storm damage problem it is lack of maintenance problem and therefore the repair should be paid for by way of the fees we pay the condo management If the condo management company refuses to repair the outside wall is there a regulator we can report them to?????
