You are effectively the owner of the property whilst you continue to pay the rent. If you have paid the rent for the next 10 days, then unless the landlord gives you notice (find the notice period in your tenancy agreement) then they cannot enter your premises and only when you are present.
The landlord cannot park in your spot as well for the same reason.
As for using the common property facilities, that’s a question for the Owners Corporation to adjudicate.
In the act, any owner or tenant is allowed to use the common property facilities. The act does not exclude one at the expense of the other unless there is a bylaw to that effect.
I guess that’s just one of the quirks of strata law.
You would be entitled to return of some rent if you could prove the landlord entered your property (needs to be better than just your word) and even then you would probably get resistance to such a claim, which would not be worth going to court for such a small amount.
