Is that Reindeer in the Building ?

As Christmas Day approaches I've been thinking about the conflicts between strata by-laws and our favourite Christmas traditions.

It’s a real concern to the merry people of the Yuletide when you consider the following potential problems.

• There’s no way that Santa has permission to park his sleigh on the common property.  It’s too big and will block at least one exit.
• Plus, reindeer are not permitted in the common property or lots with prior written approval.
• If Santa tries to come down the chimney (although he won’t usually find one) he will almost certainly be breach fire safety laws by leaving fire exits open.
• The Christmas lights we all want to strew over our houses are unapproved attachments to the common property and out of keeping with the appearance of the building.
• And, those singing carollers are not only breaching the noise and peaceful enjoyment by-laws but when they’re children are playing on  common property unsupervised.
• Finally all that used wrapping paper and empty gift boxes needs to go into the proper recycling receptacles.

So, hopefully your strata scheme isn’t run by Scrooge … otherwise there’ll be a lot of bylaw breaching going on this weekend.

Bah Humbug !!!
