Compliance with By-Laws is a condition of the Standard Form of Residential Tenancy Agreement, so you would do much better by approaching the Tenant's Property Manager AND the Proprietor of the Lot concerned.
The Tenant's Agreement may be terminated for a breach of any of its terms including the one about compliance with By-Laws. All that influences the timing of that termination is whether the Agreement is current (within its term) or continuing (week-by-week), but in any case the threat of having their Agreement terminated is far greater that any Orders that the CTTT may issue.
I say MAY ISSUE, as the CTTT's passion is for mediation, where the tenants will no doubt promise to abide by the By-Laws which of course they'll say they knew nothing about (even though ignorance of the Law is no defense and the Property Manager is supposed to include a copy of those with the Agreement), and then do nothing.
That's why the advice about photographs and statements is appropriate if you go down the Breach Notice / CTTT path – which on the basis of past experiences I most definately would not recommend .
Hope this helps.
