B.C.'s Civil Resolution Tribunal adjudicates disputes between strata councils and condo owners.
B.C.’s Civil Resolution Tribunal dealt with some interesting, if not downright curious, strata disputes in 2022.There, the tribunal dismissed a complaint from a strata owner who claimed his upstairs neighbours repeatedly breached a noise bylaw by permitting their visiting grandchild to run, play and jump in their strata lot.
3. In September, the tribunal ordered a Vancouver condo owner to pay his strata corporation $101,332 after finding he was responsible for a leaky fridge even though he had not yet moved in. 5. In May, a Richmond condo owner told the tribunal that a washing machine first found in a kitchen dishwasher space and then a living room had nothing to do with a Richmond strata leak.
7. Again, in May, the tribunal ruled a Shuswap woman could keep her three emotional support cats despite her strata’s ban on more than one pet. 8. Continuing its cat theme, the tribunal said in March, a strata would only receive $100 of the $800 it claimed it was owed after two renters allegedly left garbage in a stairwell and let their pet pee in an elevator.
Campbell said the gardener wrote to the strata council complaining that, in May 2021, the woman “aggressively” yelled at her about lawn mowing preferences, questioned her about her work, and approached the mower while the gardener was working.The tribunal handled multiple such disputes in 2022.
