Here’s a stupid example: I propose to put my own panel that covers 100% of the roof and to maintain it under S.65A. The OC has a “duhh” moment and votes in favour and the by-law is registered. Ten years later grid electricity costs $10 per kWh and solar panels cost a few cents, and the other owners would like to install their own solar panels. But there is still a special by-law that approves me having my panel covering 100% of the roof, and it can’t be revoked without my permission. Why would I relinquish the roof space?
That is precisely the reason I would never agree to a SBL for this sort of thing.
Also what happens when the roof needs maintenance which require the removal of the panels and then the re installation, even with an SBL the Strata would be up for the removal and re installation costs because any costs associated with the repair to common property fall on the Strata.
