What standard of care does a strata corporation have for repairs and maintenance of common property?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from The Owners, Strata Plan NW 2243 v. Henderson, 2021 BCCRT 1125 (CanLII):
28. The standard of care that applies to a strata corporation with respect to repairs and maintenance of common property 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 corporation chooses a good solution instead of the best solution does not render its approach unreasonable: Weir at paragraph 28.
