A former tenant attempted to contest $1,700 in strata bylaw penalties imposed on the property owner for short-term rental violations and security breaches. The tribunal ruled the tenant had no legal standing to challenge fines assessed against the owner, as these penalties affected the owner's rights rather than the tenant's interests.

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.
Common property & use
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.
The decisions
Every tribunal decision linked to this building, newest first.

The tribunal determined the owner was liable for gate damage due to improper use of the electronic access fob rather than equipment malfunction. The owner was ordered to pay the strata corporation $696.94 for repairs plus fees and interest.
