About this episode

This episode discusses the responsibilities of owners corporations regarding common property and the challenges faced in strata management.

This week, Reena Van Aalst and I discuss a strata fact that can be hard for owners to hear: yes, the owners corporation must fix the common property, but no, you don’t get to dictate every detail of how that happens. We also tackle the challenge of a committee changing their meeting location at the last minute, and a tenant applying the scattergun approach to their damages claim.
