New Strata Prop Act Changes for Repairs


Blog by Diane Cardoso | January 31st, 2014


Note:  recent changes to the approval vote for repairs to Strata Common Property:
The Strata Property Act of BC was amended in December 2013, to allow Strata Corporations that do not reach the 3/4 vote threshold, but receive 50% or more of the votes, to apply within 90 days, to the Supreme Court of BC. Where the court approves the resolution, it will issue an order allowing the Strata Corporation to proceed with the special levy and repairs.  This change will facilitate critical repairs being made in a timely manner before further damage is done to the property.
