Parking Spaces

I've had that same issue with my car. I took it up with my Strata council but they said that parking on the common property is not permitted at all. One exception is if you are given special rights by the the owners strata but this is only for very rare cases and there has to be a lot of justification, like if you aren't able to access your current spot.

Our strata has no bylaws on parking so I am drafting some using templates in Talkstrata. I note prohibition of unlicensed/uninsured vehicles in assigned parking spots. What is the rational for this (e.i. How would we answer an owner wanting to overwinter an uninsured collector car in his assigned parking spot?)

Basically it is a liability concern. If there was a devastation, ie. fire or earthquake - neither the strata insurance or the homeowner's content insurance would cover the loss or damage of the vehicle. Getting storage vehicle insurance is of great benefit to the strata lot owner to protect themselves. From the perspective of the strata if the vehicle were to cause damage to the common property there needs to be insurance in place so the strata can recover losses.

An unlicensed vehicle has no insurance, as you know. If the vehicle has a storage insurance policy on it, a reasonable cost from ICBC, then most strata bylaws permit it to park on strata property. The issue is the insurance; if, for instance, the uninsured vehicle were to catch fire, or be torched, there would be no insurance proceeds to remedy the situation so the owner then the strata corp would be out of pocket for the repairs which could be considerable.
