An apartment owned by Mei Leung at 7077 Beresford St. hasn't been inhabitable since a fire on Aug. 8, 2018.
A Burnaby owner has won a nearly $51,000 Civil Resolution Tribunal battle with her strata over an apartment that hasn't been livable since a fire in August 2018.
Mei S. Leung, who owns the unit with her elderly father, said it was an "unauthorized intruder," but the strata said Leung had allowed the occupant to live there against the strata's bylaws. Leung launched her own tribunal complaint, arguing she shouldn't have to pay any costs arising from the fire. " wants Ms. Leung to do the work before it pays Ms. Leung the insurance money. Ms. Leung wants the insurance money so she can start the work," stated the ruling.
Leung had also claimed $62,400 in damages for lost rent for the apartment, but Carmody dismissed that claim, ruling she hadn't done enough to mitigate her loss.
