Respondent
Petitioner
Background:
The petitioners, including Anoroc Holdings Ltd. and others, owned strata lots in the Cove Lakeside Resort in West Kelowna, B.C. A restrictive covenant required owners to rent their units through a single rental management system. They sought to cancel the covenant under Section 35(2) of the Property Law Act (PLA), arguing it was invalid and uncertain. The same covenant had been previously canceled for another unit in 585582 B.C. Ltd. v. Anderson.
Legal Issues:
Conclusion:
The court found that the facts differed from Anderson, particularly because a disclosure statement and rental agreement existed before the covenant was registered. The court ruled that the restrictive covenant was not invalid for uncertainty and denied the petitioners' request.
Costs:
The court awarded costs to the respondent, 585582 B.C. Ltd., though the exact amount was not specified in the document.
