In my opinion the owner(s) of a lot, and possibly their managing agents, should ensure that the lease clearly indicates the number of occupants entitled to live in their lot, including the number of car owners entitled to live there. Such lease conditions should alleviate the problems the EC has encountered with the tenant(s) of this lot. Breach of such lease conditions should immediately revoke the lease and put the tenant(s) who are in breach on the street.
Landlords are required by law to give tenants a copy of the by-laws. Breach of the by-laws is a breach of the terms of their lease and can lead to eviction. But you have to prove the breach and you have to give people a chance to do the right thing. The CTTT (quite rightly) isn’t going to put people on the street just because someone saw them parking in a visitor’s space and reported it to the EC.
Most leases refer to the number of people allowed to occupy the apartment. As to the number of cars, you could have one person with four cars, each of which might be legally parked in a car space leased from another owner.
You don’t need complicated by-laws that restrict people from doing what they want … just from doing what’s wrong. As far as rental agents go, I think ECs should be encouraged to blacklist agents (the same way agents blacklist tenants) for persistently renting units in the wrong building to the wrong people. You can’t ban them but you can warn your owners that there are certain agents that are likely to bring trouble to their doors.
