Before your strata corporation considers a jump to 55 and over, consider the consequences

Dear Tony: Our strata council has proposed a 55-and-over bylaw for all residents, at our annual general meeting on Dec. 29.

My husband is selling his home in Edmonton and will move to Delta; however, he will not be an occupant until February or March of 2023. Would this bylaw affect him as well?Strata corporations are permitted to adopt bylaws that regulate use and enjoyment of strata lots, common and limited common property, and for the administration of the corporation.

In PJ’s example, she has a valid concern over the residency status of her husband. The strata property act exempts persons who are living in a strata lot at the time the bylaw is passed. If her husband has not been a resident, and the bylaw amendment passes on Dec. 29, he is not exempt from the bylaw.

Enjoying the comments from people that didn’t read the article.

I wish I didn't have a small child above me stomping all day. Can we have 25+ condos?

Interesting. I thought age discrimination was straight-up illegal. These are strange times however, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s allowed. Bummer for people who already own in a building that gets designated 55+. Limits the potential buyer pool when owners want to sell.

Age restrictions in apartment buildings should be banned. It is time boomer privilege ends.
