What is the standard of care for a strata corporation with respect to repairs and maintenance?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Verigin v. The Owners, Strata Plan VR112, 2021 BCCRT 950 (CanLII):
35. The standard of care that applies to a strata corporation with respect to repairs and maintenance is reasonableness (see Weir v. Owners, Strata Plan NW 17, 2010 BCSC 784 at paragraph 23). When faced with a range of possible solutions to solve a problem, the fact that a strata chooses a good solution instead of the best solution does not render its approach unreasonable (see Weir at paragraph 28).
