How has the CRT treated noise in a residential unit?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Kirkwood v. Arlington Grove Housing Co-operative, 2021 BCCRT 174 (CanLII):

50. The focus is not on the cause of the noise, but its effect. Several CRT decisions have found that noise was unreasonable even though the resident making the noise was doing normal everyday activities like walking and talking. (See, for example, Lucas v. The Owners, Strata Plan 200, 2020 BCCRT 238, Moojelsky v. The Owners, Strata Plan K 323 et al, 2019 BCCRT 698, and Torok v. Amstutz et al, 2019 BCCRT 386).
