Like Tapioca says, strata bylaws cannot be changed unless approved by the council, so either the bylaw already existed and wasn't enforced (which non-enforcement of bylaws would be a good reason to get rid of your property management company), or the bylaw was brought in later... but again, could only have been done with the approval of the council. The management company can't make these charges arbitrarily.

As for making friends aware or let them be prepared, well i understand what your saying there Soundy but see it from my view as well. it is a great inconvenience for my friends, and anyone really if they have to take the bus or transit rather than the convenience of their own car. You dont exactly tell your friends that your having a party at your place and tell them "oh guys, take the bus or walk to my place cuz you cant park here more than 4 hours" i guarantee you your party will be more quiet than a library. I get the idea though but it is of great inconvenience to both parties.

Sure it is, but having all the visitor parking filled up constantly because there are NO limits is also an inconvenience. It may not have been a problem RECENTLY, but chances are that it was at some point, which is why such a rule would have been created in the first place.

This is the bitch of living in a strata regulated building though.  |
QFT. It's just like any other level of politics: if you want a say, you have to get involved. Join the council, or at least go to the meetings and vote on proposals and rule changes. A strata is the purest form of a democracy: every owner gets a vote that counts just as much as every other owner's.
That doesn't mean you'll always get your way, of course, but if you don't participate and make your wishes known, you have no room to complain.
