If they are within the property no problem (curtains and blinds are) the only issue MIGHT be if it affects the appearance of the lot from the common property. But as you say others have different window covering you should be ok.
Not really the case, generally speaking.
If there were a by-law, it could stipulate the outward appearance of the units from anywhere, common property or not.
My building stipulates white blinds or curtains (without specifying a style). One owner who had spent a fortune on very trendy (and very large) black roller blinds was told not to even bother putting them up as he would be ordered to take them down immediately.
But I’m guessing there is no specific by-law about blinds or whatever. However, Elabushka would do well to go through the by-laws that do exist (in minute detail) to discover what can and can’t be done and find and potential traps that this particular strata fascist may be able to set.
