A strata management company in BC manages 50 strata corporations. Under RESA, what specific licensing and compliance obligations apply to this company?

Correct Answer

D) The company and its strata managers must be licensed, strata funds must be held in trust, and BCFSA education and record-keeping rules apply

Under RESA, strata management services are a licensed activity. The strata management company must be licensed as a brokerage, individual strata managers must hold strata management licences, strata corporation funds must be held in trust accounts separate from the company's operating funds, and all licensees must complete BCFSA-mandated continuing education. Strata management companies are subject to BCFSA audits and discipline.

Answer Options
A
No licensing is required for strata management in BC, because managers only carry out decisions made by the elected strata council and never trade in real estate
B
Only the company owner needs a trading services licence, and the managers working under that licence can operate without holding licences of their own
C
Strata management companies are regulated by the Strata Property Act only, not RESA, since that Act already sets out how strata funds and records must be handled
D
The company and its strata managers must be licensed, strata funds must be held in trust, and BCFSA education and record-keeping rules apply
