Strata Shenanigans in Kelowna: Research Prior to Purchasing

Understanding the logistics of a Strata Council and how the rules will influence your lifestyle ahead of time are vital factors to consider when moving to a strata residence.

Other people enjoy having the freedom to choose whichever cat or dog they prefer. Strata legislation is commonly found in condos, vacation properties, townhouses, strata subdivisions and duplexes.
