Hi DentOn,
I would suggest first checking your by-laws to see if they need to have applied for permission from the Owners Corporation (OC) – and if so, did they?
If permission was provided, were any conditions set and are these being adhered to?
If permission was not applied for/granted you may have grounds for requesting removal of the signage. However, before requesting removal of the signage, I would suggest the OC considers how they would deal with any forthcoming requests so they are prepared.
Alternatively, consider where the signage is located &/or its condition; does the location pose a ‘safety hazard‘ or its condition means it is ‘not in keeping with the appearance of the building‘.
We have, on a number of occasions, successfully denied / requested agents remove their signage due to safety issues or aesthetics.
Finally, you could look to your local council. Some councils place limits on location, duration, size and even the number of for sale signs – sometimes these are based on the size of your complex.
I hope this helps 🙂
