Council Discretion

The duty to accommodate is a fundamental aspect of strata governance under human rights law. It requires strata corporations to respond thoughtfully and flexibly to situations where bylaws or conditions create barriers for individuals with disabilities.

The duty to repair and maintain common property is governed by a flexible and practical standard. Strata corporations must act reasonably, balancing cost, necessity, and the interests of all owners.

Where a strata corporation fails to meet its statutory obligations—whether through inaction, deadlock, or unreasonable decision-making—the courts retain the authority to intervene through mechanisms such as section 173(2) orders and Tadeson Orders.
