What is the standard of care of a strata council in dealing with water dripping complaints?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Primeau v. The Owners, Strata Plan VR141, 2020 BCCRT 866 (CanLII):

24. The standard of care that applies to a strata council is not perfection, but rather “reasonable action and fair regard for the interests of all concerned” (see Leclerc v. The Owners, Strata Plan LMS 614, 2012 BCSC 74 at paragraph 61). I must determine whether the strata’s response to the applicant’s water dripping complaints was reasonable.
