I'd do the same with you - I didn't buy a condo to have a thousand screaming brats and their godawful useless maids and even worse mothers clogging up MY carpark with their lousy driving and overwhelming the common facilities.
Get the drift?
PS - if the swimming lessons had ONLY been for my neighbors kids and the Montessori garbage was ONLY for my neighbors kids I would not complain. But you want to invite strangers in to use common shared property - that's the issue.
Depends on the condo residents approval and management committee agreement AFAIK - but you only need one indictment to have it shut down. The instructor tried to claim that the outside students were relatives of condo residents but it was a bogus claim easily disproved. I also suspect the condo insurers would not pay out on any claims in such a case if someone drowned or was hurt.the lynx wrote:That is something interesting.offshoreoildude wrote:You might jump through all the loopholes but you only need one old grouch like myself to complain to his residents committee or management committee and you'll be shut down.

I didn't know that private swimming instructors in condos are allowed to bring in outsiders as students...
To the grumpy old man - The plan is to only offer the classes to children in the condo complex. No outsiders allowed. I agree with your statements, but your god awful attitude is unnecessary. Don't jump to conclusions before you have all the information. There is no need to be rude.offshoreoildude wrote:You might jump through all the loopholes but you only need one old grouch like myself to complain to his residents committee or management committee and you'll be shut down.

That wasn't clear in your original post. I'm not being any more rude than some of the other condo residents will be! I suspect you'll face backlash from them unless you work very closely with them - your other issue will be if you're making money at this - the management committee will want a slice of the cake.HunyBee wrote:To the grumpy old man - The plan is to only offer the classes to children in the condo complex.

Hey... OSOD is playing nicer than average... and I agree with him. You want to make money by turning your home into a business full of kids. I'd sure as hell object if you are in the flat next to me, you compromise the parking, or you make a lot of noise. I'd vote "no"... an apartment is not a suitable location for a "Montessori playgroup".HunyBee wrote:To the grumpy old man - The plan is to only offer the classes to children in the condo complex.

Generally business of all types is heavily discouraged in condos by many vested parties, from your neighbors to the URA to the MC - this is in part because most Condo's are designed as residences only and you never actually really own the 'rights' to use it as you will in Singapore. The fact that she is leasing gives her no leeway at all with the MC either. She 'might' get away with it on the quiet but remember gatherings of 5 people or more without a permit are illegal in Singapore! (Is it 5 or more? Can't remember).Strong Eagle wrote:Hey...
