    Thanks for your response. That was exactly my thinking about being less significant than double glazing. I’m in a relatively large apartment complex and the Strata Committee is completely black letter. The Strata Manager sympathises with my position but interprets the Act / Regulations as requiring a by-law and 75% approval. She considers that this is an actual change to common property where all the other items specified as minor renovations don’t change common property (NB: her interpretation of double glazing is just installing secondary glass over the original glass without making any change to it).  Is she correct? She would be happy if I found something that indicated her interpretation is mistaken and my interpretation is correct.

    The extra expense and hassle of the by-law and 75% approval really makes the process more challenging than it should be for such a small change.
