    We now having a growing trend with residents who believe the bylaw regarding parking in visitors car spots doesn't count – if they borrow/use someone elses car.

    Just witnessed a neighbour who has obviously “minded” a friends car whilst friend was away.  Nice guy – but he parked the friends car in the visitors car spot including 4 days over the last weekend when visitors parking is at its peak (it was Mothers Day). 

    As I read the standard strata bylaws it states that “residents” cannot use the visitors car spots without the written permission of the EC/OC.  It doesn't stipulate that residents can't park their own registered vehicle in the car spots but can park any other vehicle there.  So if residents park there – whether their own/borrowed/hired car – they are still in breach of by laws?  It is still the resident parking there?  Despite the car not being a residents, if the visitor isn't actually visiting, is it not common property not being used for its intended purpose?
