There is probably a bylaw in place which prohibits an owner or occupier from damaging or defacing common property unless written approval of the owners corporation is first obtained. 

However, laying floor tiles without drilling into the concrete slab is not damaging common property.

The question is, when the tiles were laid, was common property damaged?

If common property has been altered, then approval can be obtained retrospectively. If this approval is not forthcoming, then there are avenues available to the owner to have the works approved.
