The strata corporation attempted to collect $19,425.42 from the owner as their share of density purchase costs needed to legalize enclosed balconies. The tribunal ruled against the strata corporation, determining they lacked proper authorization under strata legislation to demand payment without establishing a valid special levy or obtaining owner consent, and found their use of contingency reserve funds inappropriate.

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.
