[200William-EC SP67851] SP 67851 - Renovations By Law

[Robin Patrick]

Hi Matt,

Thanks for reaching out. Of course no problem. It's position that is
lightly held and stems from some uncertainty and a lack of tenure on the
EC. It would be great to understand:
- what is in place now and what is the issue with the current by-law?
- I'm unfamiliar with introduction of new by-laws, are they retroactive?
Aka, I've done some of the "Works" listed. What is the impact on me/others?
Obviously I don't want to be in a position where the strata is forcing me
to pay for remediation. (And I definitely understand that it's your
intention to stop that very thing, or at least prevent a strata from
allowing reasonable changes inside people's properties.)
- Am I right in that the new by-law doesn't change the responsibilities of
the Strata to ensure the good condition of common property (exclusive use
or otherwise), but puts the onus on the owner for any upkeep and
maintenance to any 'works' done on common property?

It would also be great to get your view Patrick. Is there anything here
(clauses/powers/provisions) you would flag or consider to be uncommon?

Many thanks

Robin
