Reporting Methods:

Strata Owner Portal

  • Provide details:
    • Location of deficiency (specific area/floor)

For New Building In-Suite Deficiencies:

Important: Developer Responsibility
If you live in a newly completed building, deficiencies within your individual unit are the developer’s responsibility, not the strata corporation’s.

How to Report In-Suite Deficiencies:

Contact Developer Directly

  • Use contact information provided in your purchase documents
  • Reference your New Home Warranty certificate
  • Submit written notice (email or portal if developer provides one)

When Strata May Be Involved:
The strata corporation (and REMI as property manager) becomes involved when:

  • Issue affects common property or other units
  • Deficiency relates to building systems (shared HVAC, plumbing stacks)
  • Multiple units experiencing same issue
How do I get additional remotes, keys, or parking passes for my property? +
