However, this owner would indeed be morally entitled to demand that the EC fix visitors parking first before they came after her. Two wrongs don’t make a right but she would have a pretty compelling argument to take to mediation if she was issued with a Notice To Comply.
Morality don’t come into it just the law. Your argument that because EC doesn’t enforce one bylaw they cannot enforce any bylaw is seriously flawed. If that was the case any complainant would only have to show at CTTT that EC failed to enforce bylaw x so they are unable to now enforce bylaw y.
I agree if they fail to enforce bylaw x against Fred they cannot then enforce the same bylaw x against Joe, because they have to be consistent.
OP clearly stated that their was NO restriction in the bylaws for this situation in this complex and the act only states you have to inform BC of the lessees details it doesn’t give the BC powers to refuse permission so I cannot see it being a CTTT issue.
Maybe local council have a restriction on subletting residential car spaces but to know that you would have to know which council we are talking about and OP doesn’t indicate this. If this was the case surely the council would have to take action against the OP not the OC and the chance of the council taking action in respect of 1 parking space is I believe negligible (even if they knew about it).
Just my opinion.
