And if needed, I can’t stop the other two owners from putting any special by-law up, as they have the majority vote on everything.

They may have a majority but they can’t create by-laws unless the have 75 percent of Unit Entitlements.  Two-thirds of the vote is not enough to pass by-laws if the other third objects.  

Many thanks Jimmy!

I’ve owned 4 strata properties in my time and every one of them had a by-law allowing installation of security devices, have you checked your by-laws?,

I just double checked the by-law under this particular Strata, there is nothing regarding the safety device. And if needed, I can’t stop the other two owners from putting any special by-law up, as they have the majority vote on everything.

Plus over the strata meeting, we mentioned about the safety of our family… the other two owners laughed at us, and said… the strata doesn’t have responsibility of our unit’s safety…. 🙁

Thank you for your quote on the laws, could you please help me how to understand these? As we called Fair Trading on this regard, were told by installing window grills, is for safety device, can be installed, however, as this is to common property, still subject to Strata’s approval… Appreciate your explanation. Many thanks!
