      Hi All

      I Have a small one bedroom unit in which I installed floating floorboards in 2005 (12 years ago). I did not seek O/C approval at the time because I was told that if the floors were not affixed (glued or nailed) to any area of common property then they were not common property themselves and therefore I did not require approval.

      Fast forward 12 years and I have recently had a noise complaint about the floors for the first time as a new tenant has occupied the downstairs unit. I have therefore decided to rip out the floors and lay carpet (i.e restore it to its original condition) as rugs have not alleviated the noise for the new neighbour.

      Everyone is happy with this solution but the Chairperson of the OC continues to ask me why I didnt seek approval way back in 2005. I understand it is now a moot point but just wanted to get some advice on whether Floating Floorboards are in fact common property so I can go back to her with some sort of explanation.

       

      Thanks
