If you examine the default bylaws you will see that the EC or OC can grant permission for numerous things with just a simple motion (quote the written permission of the owners corporation is in 25% of the bylaws).
Eg keep a dog, park a car on common property, etc
This permission is temp and gives the resident no enduring power, and the decision can be revoked by the EC (or OC) whenever it likes, especially if the original motion contains a clause stating that permission can be withdrawn by the EC (or OC) at any time.
My question is can this permission be applied selectively, I don’t believe it should as it would be discrimination.
EC granting permission for Sec and chairman to park their 2nd car on common property but issuing NTC to anyone else that does it.
Denying certain residents permission to keep pets when they ask, but turning a blind eye to those resident who have pets but don’t request permission.
If you examine the ruling on this the adjudicators DO look at the history of previous actions to see if the Strata is behaving consistently. (easier to examine QLD ruling online as their is 10,000 whereas in NSW their is only 1000)
