Question: Can an apartment gym be used for another purpose such as board games? In our building, residents are restricted from accessing the gym area during games days.
Answer: Can a discussion be had about alternative uses of the area?
It’s difficult to take away a service that people have paid for and gain utility from. In this case, you might need to consider that some people have specifically moved into the building because it has a gym and they want to use it when they want to use it. They pay for that facility in their levies so they are entitled to access it.
That doesn’t mean that a discussion can’t be had about alternative uses of the area. There is no reason why the matter can’t be brought up with the committee and proposals considered. If owners like the ideas then change becomes easier.
