Okanagan senior fighting to keep condo strata from becoming 55+ only
After the provincial government took away much of the legal authority of strata councils to impose rental restrictions, in November, unintended consequences are starting to pop up and affect a wide range of B.C. residents.At age 70, Russell lives in the Cherry Lane Towers on Atkinson Street, a formerly 19+ rental-free condominium strata complex.
“This is an emotional choice,” said Russell. “This is a condo. If you want to be in a place where no one younger can live, sell and move to a retirement home.” However, it is not just the Cherry Lane Towers that Russell is worried about. If she were to move to another condo, she is concerned that the same situation will play out again.
