Known Issues (news/court)

[lawsuit_or_court - bylaw enforcement (pets, rentals, noise, smoking, renovations, short-term rentals)] A purchaser was told her underage son could reside in her unit despite an adults-only age bylaw, but the condo corporation later demanded removal and fined her; its court application was dismissed in 2016. The judge found the developer and its principal liable for breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation, awarding $28,581.03 plus interest. (2018-12-19); [lawsuit_or_court - bylaw enforcement (pets, rentals, noise, smoking, renovations, short-term rentals)] The condo corporation sought to enforce a bylaw restricting occupants under 18 by levying fines of $250 every two weeks (totaling $2,250 as of May 2015) against an owner whose minor son lived in her unit, and later sought to recover legal/enforcement costs. The court found the Board's evidence (via the property manager's affidavit) was hearsay, lacked sufficient first-hand evidence and reasons, and was therefore unreasonable, so it dismissed the corporation's claim, set aside the fines, and awarded costs to the owner.
