Checked Your Strata Neighbours Recently?

You'd think that with all that close living in strata buildings, owners and residents would know who they're neighbours and co-owners are. After all, it could make a difference?


The recent uproar about one Toronto strata owner highlights why you might want to check the list of owners in your strata corporation.


It seems that no-one noticed that the owner of a Toronto condo penthouse at 10 Navy Wharf was Muammar Gaddafi, and the son of the former Libyan leader. It was a big surprise to the strata corporation, its manager and other owners.  As well as the Libyan government who is claiming the apartment as a state asset too.


You can read a bit more about this interesting turn of events in stories by the National Post (Saadi Gaddafi owns a $1.6M penthouse in Toronto, Ottawa asks RCMP to investigate Gaddafi son's Toronto condo, Libya lays claim to Gaddafi condo), and by Chris Jaglowitz.


So, next time you're getting in the lift, parking your car or waiting for the strata meeting to start, check out your strata neighbours.
