I am looking to buy an apartment and have noticed a strange amendment to the by-laws. It reads: You must not keep any animal (e.g. dog-cat, etc.,) on premises (exception Guide Dog). Further, no bicycles are to be allowed …
Sounds like this building has had trouble with people wheeling their bikes throughthe lobby and/or storing them on their balconies.
Less worrying than the bike issue, I would be more concerend that you have discovered evidence of StrataNazis at work. It may be perfectly resonalble to ask people not to wheel their bikes across common property or soore them on balconies but to ban them from the building? If there is no adequate bike storage area where you can leave your bike safely, and this by-law is a recent innovation, you have to ask yourself what living with neighbours like that would be like. On your bike, say I.
