British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Down v. The Owners, Strata Plan KAS 2503, 2022 BCCRT 115 (CanLII):
34. SPA section 116 clearly states a lien can be registered against the tile of an owner’s strata lot for outstanding strata fees or special levies, and other things that do not apply here. SPA section 118 allows a strata corporation to add reasonable legal fees to the amount owing to it under a lien. See The Owners, Strata Plan KAS 2428 v. Baettig, 2017 BCCA 377.
