11. Must a strata corporation have bylaws?

All strata corporations have bylaws even if they have never adopted bylaws. The Standard Bylaws which begin on page 117 of the Strata Property Act are the default bylaws of all strata corporations from duplexes and bare land stratas to high rise apartment blocks. All Standard Bylaws apply except where a different bylaw that covers the same subject matter has been registered with the Land Title Office

For example a bylaw prohibiting dogs when the Strata Property went into effect would still apply although the Standard Bylaws allow “one dog or one cat”. An AGM could adopt a new bylaw allowing dogs or cats.
