Balconies & Common Property

• No storage is allowed in foyers, corridors, stairwells, or other shared spaces.

Garbage Disposal

• All rubbish must be securely bagged and placed inside the appropriate bins:

  • Yellow for recyclables

• Dumping items beside or near bins is not permitted.

Moving In/Out & Access Devices

Bicycles & E-Bikes

Such storage poses safety risks, obstructs access, and detracts from the appearance of our community. It is strictly prohibited under the strata by-laws.  Non-compliant bikes will be removed without further notice.

Registration

• E-bikes and e-scooters must be registered using the E-Bike & Scooter Register Form.

Charging Restrictions

Storage of Hazardous Materials

• The storage of fuel, gas bottles, or hazardous chemicals is prohibited in garages, balconies, or any common areas.

Short-Term Rentals

Short-term letting — including platforms such as Airbnb, Stayz, and similar services — as well as temporary exchange arrangements or house swapping — is strictly prohibited under The Pines by-laws.

Real Estate Signage

Leasing agents should note that real estate signs advertising apartments for rent are not permitted on balconies, windows, or common property.
