    I need to register an enforceable by-law I think that allows some owners to park in front of their garages, and one not. He says this would be unfair. Is an enforceable by-law (well written with $ penalties) the way to go?

    I think your proposed by-law would be seen as “harsh and discriminatory” which means it could get turned over at NCAT where you might find you were all ordered to park in your garages.

    However, there is a standard by-law that says residents can’t park on common property without written approval of the strata committee.

    So first of all make sure that by-law is in place.  Then find an blocking space you can define as designated for chummy’s use, subject to approval.  Then get everyone to apply for permission to park outside their garages except for chummy, who should ask for permission to park in the designated space.

    If he doesn’t want to play ball, then you could breach him (and his son) for parking on common property without permission.
