Contingency Reserve Fund (CRF) means a fund for common expenses that usually occur less often than once a year or that do not usually occur in a strata corporation. The Contingency Reserve is an amount of money set aside by law to equal not less than 5% of the annual budget.
On occasion, the Strata complex may encounter an extra-ordinary expense that has not been foreseen, and therefore not included in the annual budget. In these instances, the funds can be raised by a Special Resolution being passed at an Extra-Ordinary Meeting, or if time permits, at the AGM. It's important to note that funds raised by these levies are due and payable by the owner on the day they are passed.
On occasion when a special levy is assessed, each owner has an upcoming bill for their portion that is due as soon as the special assessment is approved. As an owner you are then required to pay your portion based on the schedule that the strata approve. Some owners are late on their payments and some owners do not pay until they are chased by collections. The challenge this provides, is that the work required to complete the special levy needs to be paid now; as such, a loan will be taken from the contingency reserve fund to pay the contractors while they chase down the owners who still owe money. Until all the owners have paid their special levy, there will be an outstanding loan due to the CRF fund.

If you do have a question you would like answered, please email us your question to info@rightpricedrealty.com
1.) The Strata Corporation’s budget is divided into two components:
An operating fund for common expenses which usually occur once a year or more often than once a year; and
A contingency reserve fund (CRF) for common expenses which usually occur less often than once a year or do not normally occur.
2.) Each owner must contribute to the Strata Corporation his or her strata lot’s share of the total contributions budgeted for the operating fund and for the contingency reserve fund (CRF), by means of “strata fees.” Strata fees are calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Strata Property Act. The strata fees for a strata lot’s share of the contributions to the operating fund and the CRF fund are calculated as follows:
Unit entitlement of the strata lot/ divided by the total unit entitlements of all the strata lots * multiplied by the total contributions and then / divided by 12
3.) The unit entitlement for a strata lot is the number indicated in the schedule of unit entitlements on the registered strata plan, and is the only number which can be used to determine the strata’s share of the common property and common expenses of the Strata Corporation.
4.) The unit entitlement is usually based on the habitable area of the strata lot as determined by the surveyor at the time of registration of the Strata Plan, rounded to the nearest whole number. The unit entitlement does not necessarily have to be based on this figure, however, and may be altered by the developer subject to approval by the Superintendent of Real Estate.

“What does it mean when it says the building has a guest suite?”
QUESTION OF THE DAY~ Is where we answer a question that was asked or emailed to us by one of our clients. A question, we feel more people might have, and therefore the answer should be shared. If you do have a question you would like answered, please email us your question to info@rightpricedrealty.com
Answer:
What they are referring to when they say the building has a guest suite; is an extra apartment that is fully furnished that can be rented. Rented on a nightly/short term basis for friend or family members of people who live in the building. This unit is owned in part by all the owners through your strata. Some buildings have chosen to hold back one apartment as in this case for this purpose instead of selling it to the open market, it is an asset of the strata. If the owners ever decided that it does not get used, they have the ability (I think ) to vote on selling the apartment and the monies earned would go back into the strata.
Did that answer the question?
Thank you, Roland
