BC Court of Appeal rules hot tub not classified as patio furniture under strata bylaws.

The British Columbia Court of Appeal has reversed prior rulings, declaring that a hot tub cannot be classified as patio furniture under strata bylaws. The court found the previous tribunal's decision unreasonable, emphasizing the hot tub's immovability and drainage concerns related to chlorinated water. This ruling stems from a dispute involving homeowners who installed an inflatable hot tub on their rooftop patio, defying local regulations.
