Strata Tip of the Week - Don’t Forget About Holiday Bylaws

by Condo Clear

While heavily disputed at the North Pole, yet fully endorsed by the Grinch, holiday bylaws exist in many strata corporations.

All kidding aside, it’s worthwhile reminding folks that some strata corporations may have bylaws restricting what residents can or cannot do for the holidays. Make sure to check your strata’s bylaws, so you don’t end up on the strata council’s naughty list!

Some of the more common holiday bylaws we’ve seen include:

Restrictions on live or fresh-cut Christmas trees due to fire safety concerns.
Bylaws about hanging decorations or lighting from unit doors, balconies, or windows.
Guidelines on when and for how long residents can display holiday decorations or lighting.

When in doubt, make sure to check your strata’s bylaws for any restrictions.

That’s it for this week. If you have any suggestions for other topics you’d like us to cover, please let us know at info@condoclear.ca.
