Hello KWC Experts! Can someone please direct me to where I can find the Vacancy Rate History on KWC? I can find the last couple years but not any farther back in time. Your guidance is much appreciated.

Usually you order the condo status report/certificate from the property manager of the building. I then usually give it to my lawyer to review and discuss it with me. The fee is approximately $100 from my experience and is usually paid for by the seller (I put that in the agreement)
