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.
Boundaries, parking, and renovation disputes — who controls and can alter shared space. Usually lower-stakes individually, but frequent cases show ongoing friction between owners and the board.
Every tribunal decision linked to this building, newest first.
The applicants, a household of five, occupied a one-bedroom strata unit despite bylaws restricting occupancy to two persons. After the strata corporation imposed penalties and rejected their hardship appeal, the tribunal determined the occupancy restriction constituted family status discrimination under human rights legislation and ordered cessation of enforcement plus reimbursement.
The applicant sought $200,000 in damages following a collapsed property transaction, asserting the strata corporation caused delays in providing written confirmation of completed renovations. The tribunal rejected the claim due to insufficient evidence of actual financial losses, including lack of documentation regarding the initial sale value, missed investment returns, or proof of reduced proceeds from the subsequent 2020 sale.
