Our building has rules that prohibit bikes from being transported in the elevators or wheeled in the corridors and lobby areas of the building in order to prevent damage to the common elements and to avoid overcrowding and inconvenience to others travelling in the elevators. In addition, also the storage of bicycles (and other items) on the units’ balconies prohibit. The rules bind all owners, tenants and other residents. Although the rules bind tenants, tenants do not have any standing to cause the condominium rules to be amended. The condominium manager is not at liberty to change or disregard the rules.
