      Hi Flat chat,

      Our unit is our home .. we have lived here for 13 years without any problems. 

      I have a motor scooter and a car. As I don’t drive the miles I use to (to keep the batteries charged)  The batteries do need to be ‘trickle charged’ to keep them alive and serviceable obviously from ‘common property electricity’  this may be say once a month ..at present electricity rates it works out less than about $4 a year … the power point adjoins my parking area so I am not disturbing any other owner.

      I generously sent the strata committee a cheque for $10 for this year.

      Seems they’ll be returning the cheque and will be denying use of ‘common’ power by having  Padlocked covers placed over the ‘common’ power points .

      Their ‘fear’ is that people will be buying Battery Powered cars and wanting to charge them from ‘common property power’.

      As batteries that fall below a certain level DIE and must be replaced ( a waste of resources ) -Is there a ‘rule’ to prevent me from an occasional trickle charge or are they over reacting ?

      I don’t have access to any other power source as vehicles are in owned parking spots in the basement parking area.

      I’m looking forward to your advice.

      Thanks , Scott13
