With the problem of electric scooter chargers and battery fires, to mitigate fire risks, can unit owners make it compulsory for tenants not to have electric scooters in their units or the garage area?
A blanket ban on scooters is likely to be unlawful until there is direction from a higher authority.
This is a really hard one at the moment. There is certainly evidence of issues, but which scooters? What batteries? How were they managed? Why hasn't QFES or the government said something? I think a blanket ban on scooters is likely to be unlawful until there are some answers to those questions or directions from a higher authority.
