The Superintendent of Real Estate has prepared 27 Instruction Guides that explain various topics in relation to the Strata Property Act. It is hoped that the information on this site will enable strata owners and councils to more fully understand the specific requirements of the Act, and the owners’ and councils’ rights and obligations.

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 can not 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.
