Sell condo, buy something where SHE makes the rules. Would be a cold day in you know what before I bought a strata or condo like that. I lived in a townhouse once that had similar rules....like everyones blinds had to be same color, etc. Never again.. but then, I never play by the rules LOL

Nice idea, but not realistic. Selling your condo and buying a house, if you qualify, could double your mortgage, especially in urban centres. A condo in Victoria sells for an average of say, 250k, houses start close to 500k. Vancouver is way sillier than that. Some peole just can't buy houses yet, especially younger single people.

Okay, I've made picture files of the letters and contract:

Letter 1



Letter 2



Contract




Of note is that she's never signed any contract as of to date. She just paid her downpayment, moved in and that's it.

Is there anything here I'm missing? I've contacted all the links here other than the University Law campus. I'll be heading there on Monday.

Nuts.

Time to get on the board herself and straighten the rest of them out.

if she never signed anything is she obligated to act under the rules??? serioiusly... she needs to speak with a lawyer. as for the 131 days... they are completely disputeable. 2 seperate cats in 2 seperate incidences. how similar are they in aprearance? was it the same person who saw them both times? if not its pretty difficult to prove on their part.

First...tell her not to ignore her council and hope this goes away. It wont.

Second..request a meeting with council (and show up!) Be prepared with a good story that sounds logical.

Third...Get elected to your strata council. What goes on behind closed doors is none of their business.

Fourth....if all else fails talk to a lawyer.

Now as far as signing papers...she did. If they wernt in her disclosure statements presented to her by her lawyer at the time of her signing, the lawyer would be in big trouble. I dont know strata law in Alberta but I understand it fairly well in BC. I had bylaws passed in order to control one person and/or situation knowing if I were challenged in court we would lose the case. Didnt care. If the person showed up to a meeting and we were able to come up with a reasonable solution they never got fined. Not all councils will act the same. But you need to test it first.

I cant imagine any judge would think this fine reasonable.

Thanks Scott, I appreciate your advice.

Just to clarify though, what does it mean to be elected to a strata council?

well since she signed nothing and if she has actually not agreed to anything more then living there and paying a specified down payment/rent then it is not applicable unless other conditions apply.
-such as laws which are for that particular area


Yea and as already said, if she was not correctly informed by the lawyer standing by during the agreement, depending on somethings, then it is also the lawyers fault. If the downpayments speak nothing about what is or can be housed within her condo, then this case is void. *unless there is something which hasn't been stated yet that is a catch all*

Should be interesting to see the outcome and I wish your friend the best. Since they have no solid ground to stand on, their just bullying.
