What is the standard of cleanliness in a condominium contract?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kovacs v. Haston, 2022 BCCRT 235 (CanLII):
15. The respondents say that they left the condo reasonably clean, which is all the contract required. The respondents rely on a previous CRT decision, Calder v. Burtini, 2021 BCCRT 808. In that dispute, the contract at issue had a clause that required the sellers to have the house professionally cleaned. The CRT member interpreted that clause as requiring the house to be reasonably clean, not perfectly clean. While the clause at issue here is different and other CRT decisions are not binding on me, I agree that the standard is reasonableness.
