Their are too many unknowns to start with. The main one is whether it is common property or lot property and everything else depends on the ans to this question.
Your owner should have a copy of the strata plans so he is the one to ask because if the OC are trying to take away his courtyard he won’t be a happy camper.
An alternative is to obtain a copy of these plans from the Stata Lands dept for less than $20 yourself.
As to the bylaws their relevance depends on the above but you should have been given a copy of the bylaws by your Rental Agent on signing the rental agreement (see section 35 of said agreement) and if not ask for them now from your rental agent.
