The BC Civil Resolution Tribunal found that a housing cooperative unfairly prejudiced a member by requesting income documents without clearly explaining its separate internal subsidy, who qualified or how to apply. Writing “maximum” on a form couldn't waive an undisclosed benefit, so the cooperative was ordered to calculate and pay the subsidy he would have received, showing why boards must give meaningful notice of member entitlements.
