Significantly Unfair

once a repair has become genuinely necessary, deferring it stops being a practical option, and continuing to defer it can cross from an ordinary delay into an oppressive breach of the Strata's own duty, with real financial consequences. A robust and resilient Strata Community moves from investigation to action once a repair is actually needed, rather than treating "eventually" as a substitute for a plan.

A Strata is entitled to use its judgment about whether and how to enforce a bylaw, and it is not expected to be perfect. However, that judgment must keep moving toward a decision; it cannot be exercised once and then abandoned while the same complaint continues to come in.

Unit entitlement is the Act's default, and complying with it is generally a safe answer to a cost-allocation complaint as significantly unfair. The Act provides tools, through either sectioning or a types bylaw, to apportion common expenses in a manner that is fair to all Owners.
