Suing the Strata - Harassment by WGKitty on kiwifarms

[Barbarella]

They turned the sound down in the entryway and my mother and I can’t hear-we are both hard of hearing and significantly hearing impaired, yet they refuse to turn it up. Plus, all day I listen to running in the hallways and banging doors. I need to hear if somebody insults me and catch it on recording, because I’m globally famous, as required by the RCMP.

His logic is impeccable. I can’t argue with any of that.

 

[oKTrooner]

'm pretfy sure this will not reach any level that touches or taps the Strata reserves.

@RodgerDodger
In my OP I explained what Strata reserves are generally required and what they are allowed to be, and should be, used for.

A condo complex or "strata" of that size will have a lawyer on retainer, if not kutright on staff.

Not even close to being accurate. Most strata corporations will hire a property management firm to handle the day-to-day operation of the corporation, but they won't have a lawyer on staff, or even on retainer. The property management firm may have a law firm they prefer to work with, but also they won't be "on retainer". In fact, retainers work differently in Canada than they do in the USA.

There is virtually no chance whatsoever that the strata corporation would have house council. Zero

One who is particularly adept at all the local propert laws governing such communities

The property management firm, and/or condominium corporation would certainly use a firm with a specialty in real estate and property law in BC. Property laws are, as I stated in my OP, governed at the provincial level. There will be local municipal bylaws at the very local level that would deal with land use however issues of the strata corporation fall under issues of land title which is provincial. As are torts regarding damages etc.

Yaniv isn't actually suing anyone. He's filing complaints

No, he has filed law suits.

at whatever random court has no filing fee[/quotes] All courts have filing fees, and he is filing them in small claims court. Courts are not like car dealerships where you get to shop around.

His Strata doesn't have to put up with that shit]/quote]

Well, the do have to respond to his suit. Hence my entire OP where I suggest a response.

 

[EmpireOfTheClouds]

Yaniv isn't actually suing anyone. He's filing complaints at whatever random court has no filing fee regardless of whether or.not jts the proper venue. His Strata doesn't have to put up with that shit.

Except he is filing an actual lolsuit. Partly why this is so funny.

Yeah, @RodgerDodger 's reply was a case study in the Dunning Kruger effect

 

[MetalParakeet]

Very informative, thanks
Any chance they just give him go away money & he does it again?
Or? do they fight it & go after him for costs? They do control the unit he lives in.

I'm going to ruin your guys fantasy about how strata works in BC.

Sure, you can have a management company and all that. But what you normally have is some long time resident who got roped into doing it, hates the job and doesn't know the first thing about Strata rules, let alone residential laws.

In smaller places like where I believe yaniv live, the "board" is compromised of owners who volunteer to be active. Because people are lazy, that's typically a number that you can count on one hand.

Sure, big purchases have to be agreed to by the board and there's typically annual or biannual meeting involving all the owners, but many choose to attend. If you're living in a place where the owners mostly rent out their flats, they don't give enough fucks to be active participants as long as they're getting their money.

The majority of the places I've experienced in BC are ran by drunk retirees and like 3 owners who only volunteer as board members to get stuff that benefits them.

I assume this means the most probable outcome is that they give him money so they fuck off, I'm sorry if I get it wrong.
Though people with nothing else to do tend to do random things like that too,

I live in a strata, in BC and I'm on council or what some of you call the board. While many are managed by a management company, the council is who runs the strata. The council enforces bylaws, the council makes the budget, the council decided what goes in that budget and ultimately the council decides what will be taken to the owners to vote on at the AGM (annual general meeting). It is incorrect to say that strata's don't have lawyers. Most strata's absolutely have lawyers that they consult with on a regular basis. A law firm is essential to most strata's as owners can be assholes (see Yaniv) and council often has to get lawyers involved. When an owner doesn't pay strata fee's or a levy, the unit must have a lean placed on it which is done by a lawyer. Most of the lawyer expenses due to delinquent or asshole owners is recovered from the owner and paid back to the strata. Not all of it, but a lot of it. Strata's all have budgets that are approved by owners. Our budget is over $1000000 a year and includes about $25000 for legals. In my experience most councils have at least 2-3 people who are very knowledgable and involved in the running of the strata as it's their investment and they want to see it taken care of. There are often people who do have their own agenda who run for council, but they generally find out pretty quickly that it doesn't work that way, and usually you have people on strata who do know the rules and what the are doing

At this rate, there will be a worldwide shortage of guano if Yaniv Simpson keeps filing all of these batshit crazy lawsuits.

Completely agree with the fishing for kitty's identity. PMSL

I also think the lawsuit was filed solely in an attempt to determine 'Kitty's identity. All the listed items provide enough of a smokescreen to make the suit look meritorious to the average layperson that may not be well-versed in the finer points of law.

As others already posted, Canada has privacy laws that appear to preclude a strata from turning over tenants' personal information to anyone that casually asks for it or demands it. Let's hope whomever presides over this case gives the legal equivalent of a "LOL, no" ruling to JYS should it actually be heard and not dismissed first.

Jessica's case involves private property, so the privacy laws might be a little different.

If I recall, JYS once had a camera set up in an attempt to identify 'Kitty but was told to reposition or remove it when it was angled in a way that it might be able to show the inside of one or more units if their doors were opened.

(As much as I trust you to remain on the down low, @WGkitty, continue to stay safe, fam. JYS is really going off the deep end trying to out/dox you)

 

[oKTrooner]

@Sookie to clarify, I never said that Strata corporations don't hire or consult with lawyers. They do, and do so often. There are many lawyers who specialize in just that area of law.

What I did say was that strata corporations do not typically have lawyers on staff, aka as permanent, full timr employees of the corporation, such as @RodgerDodger so confidently stated in his post.

Very accurate. No strata would have a lawyer on staff. Holy shit, we'd all be paying more in strata fee's than our mortgages to afford that expense.

 

[160048]

I dont get the point of this lolsuit, like yaniv knows that they wont win right? Like wont it just cost them money. Or is yaniv like unironically so looney that they dont understand reality

I doubt even that will happen.

The people around it will either live with it or they'll leave.

It sucks. The innocent people aren't guaranteed a safe living space while a violent fuckwit can do what he wants without any serious consequences

Sounds like you live in a nice building.

I think you're overestimating the capabilities of a complex that would not only let him in, but that he can afford.

I'm on a strata counsel in BC too, in one of the nicer buildings in town and we have none of what you've described.

 

[Blacklight]

@WGkitty get a fucking VPN man. A crazy tranny like Yaniv shouldn't be able to find you this easily.

 

[Short Stack]

I never have liked or understood condos or stratas. Really no different than an apartment with an extended lease.
You really don't own shit. As someone said earlier, drywall to drywall & his unit is under 700 sq ft if I'm not mistaken?
I would like to see the strata take action against him for his most recent bullshit.
If his strata were to take action against him, wouldn't that be akin to a class action suit from all his neighbors?
His "they won't let me in their meetings" I'm sure the reasons why he isn't allowed is documented in their minutes.

This isn't gonna work out well for him & when he is out of his unit? I doubt he could find a decent apartment that would rent to him knowing who he is (could he pass a background check? Many places won't rent to those with violent convictions. jonny couldn't make it a week or even a day homeless, if nothing else he'd just camp out at the ER
I couldn't imagine living in the same building with him
I live rural, no neighbors, no noise, no JWs at the door & no drama.
Maybe I should change my name to Serenity?

Damn, sad that people like this can go unpunished, as funny as they can be. Especially Yaniv, he seems to have produced an awful number of funny incidents in the 2-3 years we have known about him, most of them to the detriment of the average joe.

Doesn't he live with his mother? The reason he might not be allowed to meetings might simply be that he doesn't own himself. If that's the case, his mother would be allowed to go.

In the case of my strata, only one resident of an owned unit can be on the committee. This is to stop families/married couples from outweighing everyone else. Basically every owned unit can have one representative.

For general meetings, everyone is allowed but general meetings are essentially just to share information. People can voice complaints and what not, but others may not feel safe to do so if him and his mom are in attendance. I'm also not sure if there's a rule as to how many general meetings a strata must have a year.

Nah his mom has her own place that she shares with the aunt.

Yaniv said in his LOLSUIT that there are 120 condos in his building, so of course they can’t let someone from every condo show up to meetings. All the owners probably get to vote once a year on who is on the Committee for the complex, and then they need to back off and let the Committee do their job. If you don’t like how they do it, vote them out next year. Nominate yourself for a Committee position if you are power-hungry, bored, or a masochist.

Ah sorry, I thought I read before that he lived with his mom but perhaps that was outdated or maybe his mom was just overly involved.

So if he does actually own his place, you may be right. My strata is much smaller but there is a limit on who is on the committee and it's based on a percentage of the units.

When we got into it, others had to vote us in. So you're totally on to something there. I'm sure they've consistently voted "fuck no" to him

 

[PonelessBizza]

Council refuses to comply with a request to supply Jessica Simpson with a list of owner names and unit numbes at Hawthorne.

Would it even be legal for the council to provide JY with such info?
