      In an old building where the internal walls in each unit are part of the structural integrity of the building, do those internal walls still belong the each owner and can each owner demolish those walls?

        No – structural walls form part of the common property and the owner needs permission to demolish them, which may include a by-law, depending on the works.

        As a general rule, an owner owns the airspace, not the perimeter or structural walls, slabs, beams etc.  Also if the work affects common property consent is required.
