A tribunal ruled that a strata corporation must apply interest charges on overdue fees and levies as required by its governing bylaws, which it had neglected to enforce. The applicant requested interest collection dating to 2018, however the tribunal restricted the remedy to commence from October 3, 2020 due to limitation period constraints.

Governance & council conduct
How the corporation is actually run — records access, meetings, bylaw enforcement, transparency. Repeated governance cases signal a contentious or opaque council, and that colours every decision made about your money and your building.
Financial disputes & fees
Special assessments and fee disputes hit owners directly — a single levy can run tens of thousands per unit. A pattern here means the building’s finances have been contested. Ask for the reserve-fund study and the levy history before you offer.
