From the Forum: Are gym trainers profiting from your assets

Apartment block gyms are great assets for residents – especially if they are well equipped and maintained.

But they are common property – there for everyone’s use.  So what do you do when personal trainers start using them for their clients on a commercial basis?

Is that any different from people letting their share of building facilities on Airbnb?

Turns out there are all sorts of different scenarios, some more commercial than others,  and they all require a different approach.  That’s HERE.

• We have just noticed that a unit for sale in our block has installed floorboards illegally. Is there anything we can do to prevent them becoming a common property problem?  That’s HERE.
