Condo Q&A

Was property manager wrong about how condo fees were calculated?

Our condo regime fees are based on the square footage of our individual units. And there's only 24 condo units. Our budget reflected an increase of 25.99%. The management company said it was only 5% and they would send me their figures. Now I find out the 5% increase is per unit!! This doesn't make any sense to me. Our by-laws state up to 10% without a vote but I believe that should be on the total budget amount not each unit. I think the management co. is wrong. My first condo so I would like to know is this way standard?
