Dear Tony: I submitted a request to the strata council of our apartment building for permission to install a split face air conditioner. During the summer season, the south facing unit is extremely hot and there is little ventilation. The strata council have denied my request because I am not the owner of the strata lot, but the owner of the strata lot is my uncle and I am a family member not a tenant. Am I required to have my uncle make the application and request for the alteration?

Dear Tony: Our strata council has received a very threatening letter from an owner because we will not approve retroactive alterations to their unit. They removed a wall, which was load bearing, changed a window on the exterior, and installed a washer and dryer with an external exhaust vent, all of which are clearly prohibited in our bylaws. The first sign of problems occurred when the upstairs neighbour noticed a sagging section of her floor.
