Thanks for that!
Sorry, I know I'm being difficult...it just seems ridiculous for the BC to enforce such a trivial rule, against common sense!
Um, why isn't the option of just abiding by the rules on the table?Might be best to just let the matter drop and ignore the BC's notice, maybe they won't bother trying to police it, given it only happens once a week.
I'll do that when, and if, they make a final demand. Until then, I'll just try flying under the radar. Normally I'd stop immediately if the issue actually affected someone, but given the logistics, it's likely some busybody with too much time on his/her hands.Um, why isn't the option of just abiding by the rules on the table?

I think the likelihood that this is somebody in the corporate BC (i.e. not somebody living at the property) is near-zero. It's hard enough to get them to act on things you ask them to do, let alone have them actively looking for things to do!If anyone on the block had a problem with me, they would've spoken to me anyway, given we pass each other all the time. The fact they don't suggests it might just be an overzealous BC. I'll see how it goes.
Would it be awkward if I go door to door (there's only 9 doors) and ask to speak with them directly, and alleviate any concerns? I don't know my neighbours too well beyond the occasional hi (I don't think anyone knows anyone else too well, it's one of those buildings). Never done this before, but I've lived in sharehouses all my life where conflict resolution usually involves direct talking, rather than reporting.

I don't care what other people do, even in the common areas. They could display neo-Nazi posters on their balconies or conduct arms deals in their driveway and it wouldn't get a peep out of me. I'm of the view that if something doesn't directly affect you, it shouldn't be an issue.Then keep pushing the boundary of harmonious living... but the moment someone else does something to your displeasure, you'll be jumping up and down and chucking a tantrum.
It might result in a compromise, I hope. If not, then I'll let them have their way, but at least I can say I tried.What good would that do?

I could offer to conceal my balcony a bit more, use a lower clothes rack, ensure it's not visible from the ground floor, assuming they consider it an eyesore. Or ask them what their actual concern is.What compromise would you suggest?
