Does a strata have to reimburse an owner for expenses incurred to repair their strata lot?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Wong v. Section 1 - The Owners, Strata Plan LMS 2371 et al, 2018 BCCRT 896 (CanLII):
29. A strata does not necessarily have to reimburse an owner for expenses incurred to repair their strata lot just because the source of the damage is the strata’s responsibility to maintain. The applicant must show that the residential section was negligent in repairing and maintaining the pipe that leaked. See Chan v. The Owners, Strata Plan LMS 1781, 2018 BCCRT 306.
