A strata which tried to impose $30,000 in fines on an owner whose Burnaby condo was rented out on Airbnb has lost a case in front of the province’s Civil Resolution Tribunal.
The penalty represented fines of $1,000 a day for 30 days between July 14 and Aug. 14, 2021 because Kondra’s condo had been listed on Airbnb at that time, and fob activity and video footage had shown different groups of people living in the unit. Kondra said his lawyer had even sent the ex-spouse’s lawyer a letter to get the Airbnb listing taken down, but the ex-spouse’s conduct was out of his control because of the court order.First, he concluded there was enough evidence to show the ex-spouse and not Kondra had allowed the Airbnb rentals.
