This is what Chris from IBC actually said:
The bottom line is that the OC would have the right to request that you temporally remove the furniture, pots etc that you may own. The rest which I assume belongs to the unit Owner is up to them to remove.
Keep a balance approach on this as its to your benefit to have the repairs done. Give the Agent a call or talk to your EC committee members, a team approach would seem to be the answer to me.
… and this is what Les Dansonne said:
Interesting how ‘the big end of town’ sees things.
For what it’s worth, when we’ve had work done on our balcony – OC work on common property – we’ve been instructed to remove planters etc at our own expense, the logic being that the balcony isn’t actually ours (it’s common property) so having planters or anything else there is allowed at the OC’s discretion but is our responsibility.
And really, what has the “big end of town” got to do with anything? All this “them and us” stuff gets us nowhere. Nothing wrong with a balanced approach, is there?
