Before making any changes to circuit breakers, make certain that the breaker does not exceed the capacity of ANY current carrying wire in the circuit.
If you attempt to increase the size of the breaker in your condo, and exceed the capacity of the wire that is fed from that breaker, you WILL burn down the condo and when the fire department investigates the fire and finds out what you did, the association will be quite upset with you.
Plus, it's against the law.
If you need to make that kind of change to your electrical wiring, contact a qualified electrician to discuss options.
You will also need approval of the Condo Association in most situations like this.
