how come renovate own house also need to pay deposit?

You damage common property you pay.
Just wondering how long prior to the reno need to inform MCST?
It may differs from mcst to mcst.
Actually i am also renovating my condo unit now.. will take 3 months ... very major ....
i informed MCST 3 weeks ahead , Submit renov plans etc for approval ...
no harm inform mcst early ...
sometimes .... if there arent enough elevators, and a few units reno at the same time, they may not approve yours... so submit early ..
luckily saw this post... called my MCST to check. the deposit is $1000, asked them how they determinate the damage is caused by my contractor, they cannot answer me. Just keep saying that it is refundable if no damage is found.
So it should be paid by Contractor on this amount?

it depends
so far all my reno the deposit is paid by contractors.
Like i mentioned to threadstarter earlier ... it depends on the project amount ..
my contract for the reno is $xxx,xxx so the contractor jolly well pay for the depo ..
there will be a huge amount of big items in and out of lift, etc ...
Ya, i think all depends on how much is the renovation cost. but as mine is small project, i think I might need to pay the deposit first. as the MCST person told me that if damages are found, they will charge me with receipt and supporting prove. then i can charge back to the contractor.

My ID will pay the deposit... despite my small project. I think it's up to the contractor/ID
