A screenshot of a short-term-rental listing may not prove the operator, dates or exact bylaw breach. Preserve the complete listing, verify registration, identify the applicable strata bylaw and follow the full notice-and-response process before deciding on a fine. #BCStrata

A strata fine needs more than a complaint. ⚖️ Council should give written details, allow a response, hold a hearing if requested and document the final decision. Complaint. Notice. Response. Decision. #BCStrata #StrataCouncil #CondoTips

A disability-accommodation request is a process—not a yes-or-no email. Ask about functional needs, explore reasonable options, assess any claimed undue hardship with evidence and document the discussion. Avoid demanding an unnecessary diagnosis. #BCStrata #Accessibility

Is your BC strata’s depreciation report overdue? For many stratas in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and CRD, the July 1, 2026 deadline has passed. Confirm compliance, retain a qualified provider and turn the report into a funded repair plan. #BCStrata

Before filing a strata lien, verify the levy approval, due date, payment records, notices and exact balance. A lien should follow a documented review—not an assumption or unresolved bookkeeping error. Check, document and decide. #BCStrata #StrataCouncil

Fake or unauthorized strata notices can create real confusion. Councils should use one verified communication channel, identify official senders and tell residents how to confirm meeting notices before clicking links or acting. #BCStrata #FraudPrevention

Extreme heat can turn a BC condo into a health risk. Strata councils can help by identifying vulnerable areas, creating a heat-response plan, communicating cooling options and adopting clear heat-pump approval standards. #BCStrata #ExtremeHeat

BC strata insurance conditions may be improving, but coverage gaps still matter. Check your strata corporation’s policy and deductible, then compare them with your condo-unit policy. Know who pays what before a claim. #BCStrata #CondoInsurance

Moving in or out of a strata? Check the building rules before moving day: elevator bookings, permitted hours, deposits/fees and common-property protection can vary by strata. A little planning can prevent a stressful move and neighbour disputes. #BCStrata

Strata said “no fine.” Two months later: $200 fine.
Can they change their decision? The answer may come down to what changed and whether the proper process was followed.
Keep the paper trail.

⚡ Is your strata ready for the electric future?
EV charging, heat pumps and new amenities are increasing electrical demand.
Instead of handling upgrades one at a time, strata councils should be thinking long-term:
What will our building need 5–10 years from now?

You receive a strata bylaw complaint.
That doesn't automatically mean you've violated the bylaw.
Before a fine in BC, there is a process that includes written particulars of the complaint and an opportunity to respond.
Complaint received ≠ violation proven.

AGM package arrives.
Proposed strata fees: +25%.
Before getting angry, ask one question:
What changed enough to require a 25% increase?
Look at the actual numbers. Ask what increased, what decreased, and why.

For X, I'd make it much tighter:
They fixed the drywall. The leak came back. Again.Document the recurrence — photos, location, timing & previous repairs — then ask: What’s the next step to find out why it keeps happening?Got a strata problem? Let’s talk.#BCStrata #CondoOwner
