Not true. The Owners Corp can still issue and enforce by-laws that relate to the appearance of items on lot property. That’s how, for instance, owners can be prevented from drying laundry on their own property but which is visible from outside.
I disagree it depends on whether it’s common or lot property. If it’s lot property they have every right to have a table and chairs in the courtyard (and the worm farm if it doesn’t smell or appear an eyesore). Also a rotary clothes line in a courtyard to dry clothes would generally be acceptable.
If common property the Strata can ask for all to be removed IF the rule is applied consistently throughout the complex.
Most courtyards would be lot property (not common) and so this needs to be determined as a first step.
