Follow the regulations closely when creating language for rules and bylaws that impose user fees.
Dear Tony: We have several owners challenging our fees we charge for storage lockers, parking, extra parking spaces, and EV charging costs since a tribunal decision was issued a few weeks ago. The council have seriously reviewed our basic costs and admit some of the cost have no support and are too excessive, but others are justified.
This may be fairly reasonable if a proper test had been applied in the creation and application of the user fees; however, residential strata corporations are not profit-creating organizations, so the intent is for the recovery of cost and administration. Are there maintenance, insurance, utility or requirements that can be reasonably applied to cost recovery?
