All,

Just wondering if lot holders have a right to secure their lot, especially open patios that are part of the lot, which front the street and allow access to anything and anyone, where a glass enclosure could secure the lot.

Thanks

An owner has the right to secure his/her lot, but there are some over-riding caveats.

1) You can’t breach fire regulations by securing external doors and windows, so certain door and window lock types that are sold through hardware stores may actually breach code;

2) Enclosing a patio, which is usually considered common property (albeit for exclusive use of the lot owner) is not an owners’ right. You would need your OC to have a special resolution passed to allow you to do this

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
