2022 BCCRT 1075
2022-09-29Corporation upheld

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.
