    yup, that is the plan I discussed with my landlord, Jimmy. That we pay slightly higher strata title fees (which he can pass on to me as rent) in return for exclusive use of the garden. Obviously its a tricky situation because the garden is really 'no man's land.' Legally, it belongs to the body corp. But they have no access, only I do. The previous arrangement that I maintained the site as a live-in free caretaker worked well for years until these couple of belligerent EC members became obsessed with 'reclaiming' it. The difficulty now is that they will not sell to the landlord and will obstruct any move for exclusive use. I've had a chat with some of the newer owners about the situation, who are considering joining the EC to ameliorate the situation. All things change.

     

    The matter of 'personal liability' might get very complicated as regards to quantifying the $$$ value of the garden built over ten years.

     

    I only made this post to point out the harm that a couple of unrestrained EC mmbers can cause to a whole community – which is, after all, what an apartment building is. Wink
