Article Summary: 

The case of HighStreet Accommodations Ltd. v. The Owners, Strata Plan BCS2478 involves the distinction between "rentals" and "licenses" in strata corporation bylaws. The strata corporation passed a bylaw that prohibited short-term occupancies, and HighStreet, the tenant of a strata lot, challenged the bylaw's application based on Section 143 of the Strata Property Act. The Court of Appeal upheld the lower court's decision, stating that the rental restriction bylaw applied one year after its passing, irrespective of the existing tenancy.
