Re: if you do unit improvements do you compensate other unit owners?

thanks JimmyT,

that sounds plausible – the chair did the right thing to begin with (fixing the roof), then didn’t follow through for those reasons.

I’ll contact the strata manager tomorrow to ask for a copy of the exclusive use bylaw. While it’s an exclusive use area, are other owners allowed to come up and check out the roof for any reason?

and has it limited their use and enjoyment while having it as “exclusive use”? they have to have washing machines and dryers in their apartments now, rather than wash and dry in the sunshine on the roof; they can’t use the roof as a safe and secure place for children to play; and they can’t access the roof as an escape route in an emergency (up one stairs and down another). Are these reasons why they could have the “exclusive use” bylaw overturned? we’re also converting the old laundries on the roof (with permission) into a second kitchen, bathroom and office, so adding value and enjoyment for ourselves. can you comment on any of this please?

thanks again
