Peter Roberts' article “How Should a Strata Deal with the Owner From Hell?  - the Final Chapter” was reprinted in the December issue of British Columbia Real Estate Developments. In this article, Peter examines a B.C. Court of Appeal decision that settles the question of whether or not the courts can force the sale of a strata unit as a remedy for a strata occupant’s failure to abide by strata rules and bylaws. The definitive answer is, given appropriate circumstances, the court can force such a sale.
