With a properly functioning Strata they have a lawyer via the property management company that is consulted on bylaws legality before voting

LoL. Well across multiple cities in multiple provinces I've yet to see that. The only time lawyers were involved was when they severely fucked up (i.e. like the one where members were trying to skim funds or give contracts to friends/family), and the best "review" they tended to get off bylaw drafts were by the associated property management company, who were often far from professional.

I'm in BC. Our strata has lawyers on retainer through the property management. Ideas on laws get a run through to check legality, especial when dealing with an active tenant situation.
