There were a number of news stories published over the past week regarding a very common practice of Strata Corporations. The gist goes something like this: most buildings have bylaws which permit the Strata Council to charge back the cost of insurance deductibles (and in practice, amounts below the insurance deductible) to the owner of a suite where damage originates. The most common example of this is when water flows from one suite to others. Some feel that this practice is unfair, but it is very common.
