Governance & council conduct

Elevated severity2 decisions

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.

Governance Issues · 2

Common property & use

Elevated severity1 decision

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.

Boundary Issues · 1

Livability

Low severity1 decision

Noise, pets, smoking, short-term rentals. Day-to-day quality-of-life conflict — lower financial stakes, but a useful window into how neighbours and the council handle disputes.

Noise Disturbance · 1

Maintenance & upkeep

Low severity1 decision

Deferred repairs and general upkeep. Minor on their own, but alongside structural cases they reinforce a picture of a building falling behind.

2023 BCCRT 493
2023-06-12Corporation upheld$125

A strata lot owner filed a complaint regarding excessive noise from an upstairs unit, alleging poor flooring and inadequate bylaw enforcement by the strata corporation. The tribunal determined the strata had taken appropriate enforcement measures and the owner had not demonstrated the upstairs unit was causing unreasonable disturbance, resulting in dismissal and a $125 fee award.

2018 BCCRT 472
2018-08-23Corporation upheld

The tribunal lacked authority to hear a dispute over $19,100 in strata bylaw penalties for unauthorized short-term rentals. The dispute failed because the person filing was not a registered owner of the strata units at the time of submission. The filing fee was returned without reviewing the underlying fines.
