Hi Felix,The EC can’t grant exclusive use rights over common property, this can only be decided by special resolution at a general meeting.
Unless there is an exclusive use by-law, licence or lease passed by special resolution at a general meeting and registered within 2 years, the owner or resident bascily has no rights to use the space.
The EC’s decision is not final or binding.
The decision and action can be overturned by application for mediation/an order through Fair Trading.

But the EC can decide how to use common property. And if it was to allocate some storage space to owners (like installing lockers on common property where each lot gets one locker) that seems a reasonable use of common property (a bit like the way letter boxes are). It would not be exclusive use and it could be revoked or changed at any time. This is to improve the facilities in the building. If this was properly documented, shouldn’t it be possible?
