Can a strata corporation charge a similar renovation fee to the owner of the property?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Korecki v. The Owners, Strata Plan LMS 4255, 2021 BCCRT 1233 (CanLII):

19. In The Owners, Strata Plan LMS 3883 v. De Vuyst, 2011 BCSC 1252, the court said that a user fee must be objectively reasonable. The assessment of whether a user fee is reasonable may account for prevailing market conditions and a strata corporation’s costs. There is no evidence before me about how common it is for a strata corporation to charge a similar renovation fee.
