We do not have a contingency fund

  I have been living for a year in a condo I bought in a recently built building. To my surprise, there is still no contingency fund being funded.

Un des administrateurs m'a dit qu'il fallait que j'obtienne l'autorisation du conseil d'administration et qu'il me ferait tout enlever et remettre à l'ancienne si jamais j'osais outrepasser leur refus potentiel.
