Hi Jimmy,
Perhaps not as reasonable as I claimed…but I don’t doubt that they’re well meaning.
The feedback I’ve received is that I’m probably being unreasonable for wanting the OC to be responsible for ‘aesthetic reasons’. I pointed out that the Act directly references ‘appearance’. All I’m asking for is that my glass barrier looks as close as possible to its original condition at the conclusion of the work.
As I’m a novice at this process, can you please give me some direction as to my next steps.
You said “their decision not to line up the glass affects the look of the property so that’s a decision they are not entitled to make, whether by a simple majority or even a special resolution.” What is the process from my POV if they only want to be responsible for the single glass panel? Do I challenge the decision (and how)? Do I apply for mediation straight up? A strata lawyer has been suggested, but is that necessary in a situation such as this?
Sorry if these are very basic questions. One hopes to never be in this type of situation, but being able to ask for advice like this is fantastic.
