This whole thing about fake proxies is crazy to hear. But there are also some safeguards to prevent this. In order for an owner to bring a proxy, he/she needs to give the property manager in advance a signed form where the absent owner has signed and dated and declared someone else to be their proxy. The proxy vote at the meeting is only valid if that form is submitted in advance.

But let's say the president submitted a bunch of fake proxy forms with forged signatures.

In that case, the owners who were named as proxies (but aren't) could easily demand the strata invalidate the meeting entirely, and if the strata failed to do so, it would be a case for the Civil Rights Tribunal and would be a slam dunk if there ever was one.

Also, yes you can remove a strata council member. You need 50% of the owners in attendance at an AGM or SGM to vote to remove someone and they are out.

To call a SGM, you need 20% of the owners to ask for one.

I know this is all easier said than done, and the system isn't perfect. But there are ways to fight against this stuff. The problem is a lot of people are apathetic and can't be bothered to put in the effort, unfortunately. I can tell you that if someone used my name on a proxy and I didn't give permission, there would be hell to pay lol.

That's a good thing though, owners should care about their building, costs like $550K - 1.3M now for a condo!

If that's what it takes to get them involved, I'm all for it!

This duplex looks way better than the Rimpy special from a few posts back.

My sister just bought a 950 sq ft 3 br 2ba in fleetwood for 900k presale

Fuck.. like our old condo by Lougheed mall was 980 sq fr 2 br 1.5 bath and I thought thay was small

Imagine 15 years ago thinking you’d be paying 900k to live in a low rise in fleetwood and consider that kind of a “deal”

Yup, for a 7 year old house it looks very dated - I would have guessed 15-18 years - but that rooftop is WOW. Bet the orgies up there are awesome.

It's just so typical looking as far as the rest of the house goes. Very "look at me I'm rich"

I'm not exactly well versed in houses above a couple million from my searches, but if you asked me what that cost I would have guessed 3, and said I've seen nicer for 2.5 though.

Wtf $8M for that? Like carsncars says, that’s a tiny lot and like badhobz says, for that money, you’re in West Van with a large private property and a real view…

$8 million to have a rooftop patio and pool that you can only use less than a quarter of the year and zero privacy

If I had that type of money I sure as hell wouldn't be buying that here in Vancouver.

That said I can't help but wonder how much it costs to heat that place with what looks like baseboard heaters only...
