“The new laws when they come in (soon) will specifically exclude genuine home sharing – i.e. letting a room or rooms when the resident is present. You committee may have to propose a new by-law (which has to be approved by 75 per cent of owners voting at a general meeting) which reflects this or their current by-law could be tossed out for being in conflict with strata law.”
Hi Jimmy,
From what you wrote, I understand that even though the new legislation specifically excludes genuine home sharing, a building will be still able to prevent or end a “genuine home sharing” if 75% of the owners agree to a bylaw that reflects this. Am I correct?
And if so, can a building create that by-law now before the legislation has come in and have a good chance of getting the breaching owner made to stop or fined etc if it ended up being taken to tribunal?
