Can A Landlord Ignore Apartment Bylaws

phater phagan

Hello all,
If there are regulations for a small apartment complex that forbids short-term renting, can a landlord ignore them?
In other words what advice can anyone give when this happens, such as should it be challenged through a solicitor's office or is there any agency that would deal with it?

Are you the owner and you want to do short let’s? Or a neighbour unhappy about it?

If you are the owner, challenge on what grounds? If it is in the management company rules that you the buyer signed and agreed to abide by, what are you challenging? Also, planning permission may be necessary for short lets.

What is the status of these regulations? Are they in the lease or were they just passed at a A.G.M.?

If they are a covenant of the lease then the OMC via the managing agent should be issuing a formal notice to desist followed, if necessary, by a notice in advance o led legal proceedings for forfeiture (copied to th emortgagee). More than likely that would provoke a response.

They are a covenant. Thanks, your post is helpful.

Beware that it is a nuclear option but a great threat.
