    The only circumstances under which this would be considered unfair would be if the owners didn’t get an exclusive use by-law that made them and whoever buys their properties in the future responsible for the upkeep on the aircon units and the areas in which they are placed. You could argue that by using them in this way, the owners have increased the value of their phones but it really would be a nominal difference (there is a legally established formula which is the difference between the improvement in value of the unit, minus the costs of installation – including the cost of drawing up the by-law).
    As long as none of this costs the owners corp in any way, and there is adequate compensation (if at all) then there’s nothing wrong with this.
