Can a former tenant of a strata have a claim against the owner of the strata against the former tenant?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Robillard v The Owners, Strata Plan NES 2402, 2018 BCCRT 452 (CanLII):
36. The same reasoning was applied to the status of a former tenant in Kelly v. The Owners, Strata Plan K218, 2018 BCCRT 412. There the tribunal found that it has jurisdiction over, and can consider disputes filed by, a former tenant, so long as that tenant was living in the strata when the dispute notice was filed. Though not binding on me, I accept the decision of the tribunal in Kelly and find it applies here.
