The strata at Kingsgate Garden in Burnaby's Edmonds neighbourhood has been ordered to pay tenant Vahid Moradi back $400 in fines for not shovelling his deck and not waiting for the parkade gate to close before continuing into the building.

The B.C. Civil Resolution Tribunal has ordered a Burnaby strata to give a tenant his money back after it fined him $200 for not removing snow from his deck and stairs and another $200 for not waiting for the building's parkade gate to close behind him when he entered the building.

In December 2022, the strata told Moradi he was required to remove snow from his deck and stairs or he might be fined – and he might keep getting fined until the snow was gone.The strata sent a letter to the numbered company that owns the townhouse saying the unit's occupants hadn't removed the snow from the deck as required by the bylaws.

In an email, the strata manager told Moradi he now owed $400, and if he didn't pay by the end of the month, the strata would deduct the money for his next rent payment. Moradi disputed the fines at a strata council hearing, but the strata declined to reverse the fines, so he appealed to the Civil Resolution Tribunal, an online, quasi-judicial tribunal that hears strata property disputes and small claims cases.
