How does an Owners Corp take action against non-residents?
Because the OC has a right to make rules on “Behaviour of owners, occupiers and invitees”? (at least they can in Victoria) And in Victorian model rules: “An owner or occupier of a lot must take all reasonable steps to ensure that guests of the owner or occupier do not behave in a manner likely to unreasonably interfere with the peaceful enjoyment of any other person entitled to use the common property.”
So this goes far beyond owners or occupiers to include anyone that is even “invited”. So it is ultimately the owner or occupier that is responsible. And they are the persons that the OC takes action against.
But the question still remains, can an OC realistically or legally ban the use of a lot’s car space by non-residents? I know the reasons for it (security concerns etc). I just don’t see how it can be legally or practically done. Sub-letting is not illegal. And an owner/occupier might allow anyone to have the car space for free if they wanted (eg it might be for a family member or a friend). An owner/occupier might want to allow a visitor to park there. How would the OC even know?
