Thanks for this. Just checked the by-laws, and we do not have such a clause or any reference to the 1 access key policy. As such, can we require the owners’ corp to provide an additional key? How?
The Owners Corp doesn’t need to have a one-key by-law to restrict access to the car park – they might want to do so for the simple reason that the building is less secure if there are keys available to outsiders whose names are not registered on any lease or other document that makes them subject to the by-laws of the building. I cleared a carpark of dozens of outsiders’ vehicles in a building in Kings Cross 15 years ago using exactly that argument – and we were challenged by a government department who wanted to use the spaces.
It would be much better for all concerned if you could get somone who already lives in the building and who needs the extra car space – but is prepared to vacate it at weekends – than starting a fight over your “right” earn money in a way that might undermine the security of the block
