    This worked to get a brothel out

    A few years ago I managed a commercial complex located in a commercial complex mostly occupied by radiologist, ear/nose/throat specialist, tax accountants, employment agency and other such businesses one lot was rented by a brothel. The residents didn’t like having a brothel and a few other tenants vacated.

    The brothel then rented another 2 lots which adjoined the existing brothel, and it was alleged they had cut connecting doors into boundary walls, installed showers etc…

    The Owners Corporation didn’t like this at all. The by- laws were the standard vanilla schedule 1 of the Act, so I talked them into adopting the then current Model Commercial/Retail bylaws (2005 version)

    Then the Owners Corporation set HOURS OF OPERATION  as 9 am- 5 pm Monday – Saturday Under by-law 13

    13 Controls on hours of operation and use of facilities

    (1) The owners corporation may, by special resolution, make any of the following determinations if it considers the determination is appropriate for the control, management, administration, use or enjoyment of the lots or the lots and common property of the strata scheme:

    (a) that commercial or business activities may be conducted on a lot or common property only during certain times,

    (b) that facilities situated on the common property may be used only during certain times or on certain conditions.

    (2) An owner or occupier of a lot must comply with a determination referred to in clause (1).

    Brothel decided to move out
