Whale – I gave the Owners’ Corporation the 14 days notice last week.
This week I received a notice of the urgent executive committee meeting to be held within 4 days – sent by the strata manager (they are attending it too). The only agenda item is the discussion about the approval of my renovation under the condition of me obtaining and registering a bylaw at my own cost. They want the bylaw to specify that I will pay for all repairs of the common property as result of my renovation – even though it was made clear to the O/C my renovation did not involve any common property. I just don’t understand why I would incur this cost of having to draft and register the bylaw when the relevant authority clearly confirmed my renovation involved my private property only.
Can the O/C or E/C make a decision to force me to pay for this unnecessary bylaw – even though the LPI confirmed I was renovating my own private and NOT common property? Can the O/C pay for the costs of this bylaw themselves and then get the strata manager to pass those costs to me? Can they stop me to renovate? Could I get into a situation where one day I will have to wind my renovation back and restore everything into the original state before the renovation?
