The Tribunal made orders for the owner of a lot (the “Respondent”) to restore or replace the carpet or floor coverings that they had installed throughout their lot due to the excessive noise this renovation caused to the lot below (the “Applicant”).

We all love a furry (or feathered) friend but in strata or community title living, your neighbour’s pet can sometimes be more howl than wow. Maybe it’s a dog who thinks it’s auditioning for “The Voice,” a cat who treats every balcony as its personal runway, or a cockatoo with a vocabulary that would make your grandma blush. 

Buying an apartment, townhouse or a community title property can be exciting, but it’s also a major financial commitment. Beyond inspecting the property itself, one step many buyers overlook is the record search, [also termed a ‘strata search’]. This is a simple yet powerful tool that can protect you from unexpected costs and headaches down the track.
