But there has to be flexibility to allow communities to set their own standards. If an elderly owner, for instance, was visited regularly by a family member and they had to get permission to park somewhere no one else was allowed to, would that be something you would pursue?
I totally agree that you require flexibility, and if you have to bend the rules to comply so be it, my issue is with those who consider common property their property and use it as such without a by your leave.
We have in the past voted to deny an owner permission to have a dog, now certain residents do not even submit a request they just introduce a dog, leave bins on common property, park on common property and everyone turns a blind eye. Most owners just want a quiet life and don’t want to rock the boat, but ignoring these breaches just means more and more residents loose confidence in the EC and realize that asking permission is pointless as it might be refused but just going ahead and doing it is a much safer bet.
