I did use the word “usually”.
But OCs/BCs must be fair. That’s mentioned regularly in tribunal cases.
As an OC chair, I’ve had to deal with these situations in my OCs many times over the decades. And the instant we tell a resident not to do something (like park in the wrong place or store junk in the open car park) they always look to other examples of residents doing the same thing to justify their behaviour.
So expect some issues in these areas if rules aren’t evenly applied. Not just now but also in the future when new residents move in and assume they can do as they see others doing.
I agree it might not be impossible to do but it’s a lot easier to administrate and enforce if all residents are required to do the same thing. It makes it a lot easier for the committee too. And in my experience, it has a better chance of working.
But I agree it can be done! For things like pram and bicycle parking on common property, which in my OCs have limited space availability – it’s been granted to residents on a first come basis.
