It makes a huge difference if the spaces are common property or part of the unit on the unit plan. If common property you might have a special privilege for exclusive use of that space and it might have been granted in exchange for the unit owner taking on maintenance eg. cleaning.
I’m now thinking they’re part of the unit – given that each is electrically wired to the relevant unit, each has an enclosed store room running off it, and each store room contains the hot water system for the relevant unit so there are plumbing connections as well. (We even have cases where a resident has been caught out turning on their neighbour’s parking space light for extra security, but the neighbour pays the cost !)
I will check with our strata manager. I think we need a special by-law to clarify the situation.
Good luck with your hearing today.
