Nuisance is interference with a person’s enjoyment of their property, and that includes a range of things such as noise. Nuisance may also include disturbing someone’s mental wellbeing.
So if someone is using a lot in a way that causes a nuisance to another owner, and the owner is put on notice that they are doing that, and does nothing about it, then I think you could take action against the owner in relation to that.
Ideally a tenancy agreement would include clauses to the effect that the tenant cannot do anything that would be a breach of the by-laws and/or the Act. In that way the owner would have an enforcement tool.
