    Yes Jimmy, people are using their garages for storage. But who knows if it’s been approved.

    Have a look at your by-laws and see if there’s anything there.

    I thought all floors were common property and therefore should be cleaned for owners not by owners.

    It depends on the strata scheme.  My block has all the spaces attached to lots but the driveways and turning areas are common property.  However, I know of some schemes where all the parking spaces are common property, with their use allocated to specific units. Check the plan that came with your Title contract when you bought.

    Either way, the owners corp should be able to arrange floor cleans for those who want it (possibly at a reasonable fee) and warn people who have stuff stored that they need to protect it while cleaning is going on.

    When you think about it, there’s little point in cleaning the driveways if parked cars are just going to trail filth all over them again.

    It’s a question of logisitics and fair warnings, it’s not rocket surgery.
