Overview
Strata Property Act Information
The Superintendent of Real Estate has prepared 29 Instruction Guides that explain various topics in relation to the Strata Property Act. The information on this site should enable strata developers, owners and councils to more fully understand the specific requirements of the Act, and their respective rights and obligations.
Please note that these Guides have not been updated to take into
account legislative amendments and court decisions that have occurred since they were prepared several years ago. For
example, certain legislative amendments came into force on January 1, 2010 and the Guides have not been updated to
reflect those amendments. The reader should review the current legislation or seek professional advice in order to
obtain a full understanding of the current provisions of the Strata Property Act. Neither the Superintendent of
Real Estate, nor any other authority of the government of the Province of British Columbia, is liable for any
inaccurate or incomplete information in the 29 Instruction Guides
The Strata Property Act does not contain any provisions which permit government intervention in the affairs of a strata corporation. As a result, the Superintendent of Real Estate cannot investigate breaches of the Act or take action to enforce the Act against strata owners or strata corporations. If you have any questions about the Act which are not answered by the Instruction Guides, you may wish to direct them to a lawyer or one of the Strata Owners' Associations listed on our Contacts page.
As of January 1, 2006, all persons who perform strata management services will need to be licensed under the Real Estate Services Act. The Real Estate Council of British Columbia is responsible for the licensing and regulation of strata managers, and accordingly all enquiries concerning strata management licensing should be directed to the Council.
