Can a non-resident owner of a strata receive a notice or document from the strata?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Fortunato v. The Owners, Strata Plan EPS1232, 2020 BCCRT 878 (CanLII):
21. Section 61 of the Strata Property Act (SPA) states that the strata can give notices or documents to a non-resident owner by mailing it to the address provided or, if no address was provided, by putting it under the person’s strata lot door. I note that in Ferreira v. The Owners, Strata Plan EPS867, 2020 BCCRT 239 at paragraph 75 the vice chair said that it is up to the owner to regularly check the mail or establish a method of receiving communication from the strata as set out in section 61, such as an outside mailing address or an email address in order to ensure the timely receipt of notices, records and documents from the strata.
