So you are saying that potentially with the by-law you’ve mentioned landlords may be charged for the rubbish that is left by tenant who moved out? Just wondering whether the situation is different from the one if an owner sold their house, left rubbish on common property and moved out.
When you sell your house, you are selling the building and its relevant land. There should be a clause in the sale contract that stipulates the condition of the property, and dumping rubbish before moving out could constitute a breech of the contract.
When you sell a strata apartment, there would probably be a similar clause covering the interior condition of same, but it probably couldn’t encompass common property issues. I’m not sure how a SC could recoup any clean up costs in that situation. It would be different to a tenant moving out?
