Part 89 published on 01/03/2025
Rule prohibiting utility trailers found reasonable
The condominium corporation had passed a Rule to prohibit parking of utility trailers. The Rule stated that utility trailers were excluded from the definition of motor vehicles (and therefore were not permitted under the corporation’s parking Rules). The Tribunal held that the Rule prohibiting utility trailers was reasonable. The Tribunal said:
So, while I take note of the Applicant’s concerns, the evidence before me supports the conclusion that the change to Rule 15 was a reasonable response to the factual issues that HSCC 732 sought to address – it reasonably seeks to prevent interference with the use and enjoyment of the property by all owners. It falls within a reasonable range of choices available to the board. It is not for the Tribunal to substitute its opinion for that of the board where the board appears to have acted prudently and within the bounds of what is reasonable.
