Waiting to meet a friend in our Foyer today I was asked by someone if I was waiting to ‘check-in’. When I replied that I live in the property my interlocutor introduced himself as a fellow owner, and I in turn introduced myself. I was subsequently abused by the other for ‘causing all the trouble’, as I’m very much on the record for trying to verify whether or not short-term letting is a compliant activity in our building (zoned ‘Permanent Residential Accommodation Only’). As well, the current EC – all active in short-term letting – have told me I’d be “named and shamed” and “hunted down and sued”. (The ‘naming/shaming’ happens every time the Minutes of EC Meetings are distributed and, yes, there’ve been serious attempts at litigation.) In no uncertain terms was I told by the ‘other’ that he has rented his apartment (on my floor) short-term since ‘day one’ and that I’m – to be polite here in this blog – out-of-order. I refrained from describing the problems and constant noise caused by this person’s so-called guests and instead asked him if he was aware of the extent of his/our financial liability due to a non-compliant activity in our property. Again, another mouthful of abuse hurled at me. Hooplah, what a charming (NOT) fellow owner – wish he actually lived here so he could experience life in our Residential property!
