Reviews -

This is probably the only comprehensive literature available on the law relating to condominiums and its application to date. Thus it will be a useful reference tool for developers, owners, prospective purchasers and managing agents of condominium properties. Commenting on this new book P .A. Ratnayake PC, Additional Solicitor General says, “Ajithaa Edirimane’s work on “Understanding the Concept of Condominiums” deals with an area of law which is of extreme importance today in Sri Lanka due to the increasing demand for housing in the urban areas”.

A. R.  Surendran, President’s Counsel in his comment says, “Understanding the Concept of Condominiums constitutes a rich presentation of a complex subject, and fills a long felt void in an area of the law where there is a dearth of literature.” “The book deals with, inter-alia, creation and management of condominium properties, financial issues, association management and revisions and cessations of condominium properties, apart from devoting a special chapter to sale of condominiums and developer’s role”.
