4) Our Service Contract - Unlike most of our competitors, we offer 2 types of management contracts, the first has an expirey date or renewal date. This is usually chosen by our newer clients. The second is self renewing and is often the contract choosen by clients that have been with us for many years.

5) No Trust Accounts Necessary - At Lifestyles we give you the choice to operate with or without Trust Accounts. By operating without one, this is not only a cost savings measure for the strata corporation, as there is no need to have the Trust accounts audited yearly, we also do not have access to your money. The strata corporation will have signing authorities designated from the strata council, and each invoice and cheque requires two signatures from two different signing authorities on council. This helps ensure the proper amounts are paid for work done and two separate eyes from council members have seen invoices and signed cheques. In this manner council is well versed as to what is happening with the money of the strata corporation.
