The applicant sought authorization to rent their unit from July 2020 but was refused as the strata corporation had reached its 15% rental cap and waitlisted them. The tribunal upheld the 2009 rental restriction bylaw as valid and correctly enforced, rejecting claims for rental approval and financial compensation.
