The legislation doesn’t prevent a person leaving personal items on common property however your by-laws may. In terms of a breach of a by-law, this will depend on your current by-laws and how creative the owners corporation can be interpreting whether leaving shoes outside ones unit is a problem. The following by-laws may relate to your issue:
An owner or occupier of a lot must not deposit or throw on the common property any rubbish, dirt, dust or other material likely to interfere with the peaceful enjoyment of the owner or occupier of another lot or of any person lawfully using the common property.
(1) The owner or occupier of a lot must not, without the written consent of the owners corporation, maintain within the lot anything visible from outside the lot that, viewed from outside the lot, is not in keeping with the rest of the building.
