    Thank you for your response Jimmy

    You say “And to answer the basic question, the advice given is that while the law doesn’t allow you to stop internet providers from checking your common property areas, you do not have to allow them to install their equipment on their terms”

    I must say I did not quite take that implication from the two links you provided. The way I read it you could do things to slow down the process such as refusing access to electricity, but it was only a slow down of the process. Or perhaps you have further information?

    Refusing electricity certainly sounds a good strategy, so that you.

    Cheers

    It’s a bit more than slowing down but the principle is the same.  A lawyer’s letter telling them that they can’t proceed without a clear understanding of what they plan to do and a written agreement will not only slow them down but bring them to the negotiation table.  There are rival firms that may want to provide a similar service and a smart Owners Corp will play them off each other to get the best deal.  Once one is in place, the others won’t be interested.
