    The owners corporation has the right to restrict who comes and goes on common property to people who are registered owners or tenants or their bona fide guests.  Renting a car space to an outsider can be a serious breach of security and safety in a strata building since there is no recourse under law if that unregistered sub-tenant damages common property or behaves in breach of by-laws.

    In Victoria there is no automatic requirement to give an OC any tenant information.  The OC need not even be informed if the property is tenanted at all.  It’s never been a requirement in any of the properties I’ve owned and still isn’t in any of them today.  So tenant ‘registration’ doesn’t exist in Victoria but VCAT has ruled that tenants still have to obey OC rules (by-laws).

    And in my case, the car space (which was a separate lot) was separately tenanted.  A lease existed for it.

    The OC can handle security as it sees fit but in doing that can it stop an owner or the owner’s tenant from accessing their lot?   That lot might be just a car space.
