Great to have you back online Whale. Always enjoy reading your words of wisdom. Am envious of your grey nomad adventure. At the moment the thought of living permanently in a Winnebago is more appealing to me than living in strata. However, I look forward to the day I too can hit the road.
As far your your issue, I believe I have read elsewhere in the forum that a by law such as you suggest may not be possible. As far as having tenants in your complex who have been behind in rent previously, that really will be a problem for the owner and housing commission. You can only hope that they follow by laws and don’t cause trouble for the complex as a whole.
I had an investment property. I had tenants in at one stage that were on welfare, had no real references and I gave them a chance. They fell behind in rent and did a runner. Had some minor damage in the unit but nothing that could really be said was deliberate, just not reported. But I didn’t receive any complaints from the OC about their behavior, or breaching bylaws. So it really only affected me. My landlords insurance took care of most out of pocket expensies. But I was thankful that they didn’t cause any trouble for my neighbours.
