Council Discretion

The safest approach is to be deliberate; strata corporations should not accidentally become employers. They should know who they are hiring, document the relationship properly, and manage the relationship consistently with the legal status they intend to create.

55+ bylaws remain available, but all other age restriction bylaws should be treated with extreme caution and, in most cases, as unenforceable.

Strata corporations are required to take meaningful and practical steps to remove barriers and address the adverse impacts of disability, but they are not required to provide perfect solutions or to accept every proposed accommodation. The concept of undue hardship ensures that accommodation remains balanced, taking into account cost, safety, feasibility, and the legitimate interests of the broader ownership.
