Bill 44 (2022) — Strata Reform

Also known as: Building and Strata Statutes Amendment Act 2022 · Bill 44 strata

BC legislation effective November 24, 2022 that voided all strata rental-restriction bylaws and limited strata age-restriction bylaws to 55+ only.

NOT to be confused with Bill 44 (2023) SSMUH housing legislation. The 2022 Bill 44 — Building and Strata Statutes Amendment Act, 2022 — amended the Strata Property Act effective November 24, 2022. It voided every strata rental-restriction bylaw in BC: strata corporations can no longer prohibit or limit rentals to non-family. It also restricted age-restriction bylaws to 55+ only — no other age cohorts (e.g. 19+, 25+, 45+) are permitted.

Short-term-rental restrictions (under 30 days) remain permitted at the strata level. Strata corps can also continue to restrict the number of units rented at any one time only insofar as such restrictions are NOT formally rental restrictions under the now-amended Act.
