    It seems hugely ironic to me that there is so much legislation surrounding by-laws that judging by my experience, about 1 percent of strata owners ever read and even fewer understand.

    Not only that, there's all these sections and subsections and heretofors and hithertos and parties of the second party* surrounding a set of rules that are subject to the provision “this applies unless you change it”.

    I can only reiterate RP's reiteration of the one truly reliable piece of advice in this regard – the only way you know what by-laws apply to your building is to read them. That's your by-laws, not Model by-laws, Section 1 by-laws or the neighbouring building's by-laws.  Your by-laws. End of story.
