Can You Hold Parties in the Condo?

A condo may be the ideal space in a concrete jungle like Vancouver, but not exactly the right venue for a party. At least, it depends on how many guests you’re having and how rowdy they are. For instance, a small condo unit should be every indication that it's a less-than-ideal venue for a party of, say, 30 people.

Not a single condo bylaw foregoes the concept of "nuisance" in common law. This is defined as a condition that prevents owners from enjoying their properties in certain ways. The noise of an after-dark party is just one example. Nuisance can range from barbecue smoke clouding a neighbor's property to someone's stuff blocking your front door.
