What is encroachment under MCST

Image
Anything outside of your unit and not own by the owner is consider encroachment.  It doesn't matter what other neighbor is doing nearby.  Legally, owner is liable when things happened when it is outside and it is encroaching into the common area. Example:  Clothing, Shoes, Rack, Paper, Boxes & etc Fire safety is always a concern with the fire department. Management is responsible when things happen and when it is not properly managed. Management is to give proper warning before removing as courtesy to the residents.  However, once it is remove then it will be the lost of the owner.  There will be no claim available. A check with the floor plan and double confirm with the management will work to clarify. ***this article will be update regularly as it is still work in progress and I welcome comment from other professional.  Disclaimer: All of this articles are based on my personal experiences and...

It is not within the law for an estate to provide the space for motorcycle parking.  However, in the same token, there is no law against motorcycle to park in a car parking lot.  Unless, the estate has it in their bylaws.  Please check the estate before you move in any estate.  ***this article will be update regularly as it is still work in progress and I welcome comment from other professional.  Post your question to me so that I can add it in my article.  Disclaimer: All of this articles are based on my personal experiences and opinions.  Not all estates are the same and it will offer different experiences and stories to each writing.
