Is it legal to seal the balcony?

According to the Measures for the Administration of Residential Interior Decoration

Whether the balcony is self-enclosed is a part of the owner's exclusive right to own the building, and the owner can freely exercise the ownership of his exclusive part without interference from others.

The owners' meeting can pass an agreement for the needs of the public interests of the owners in the community, which limits the scope of the exclusive rights of the owners to some extent. If the legal exercise of the exclusive rights of the owner is restricted by a standard contract, the standard clause is invalid; However, if these restrictions are agreed by the owner through consultation and are set for the owner's benefit, the owner shall abide by the relevant agreements. In violation of the provisions, the property company may bring a lawsuit to the people's court.

According to the provisions of the law and the property management service convention, the owners should cooperate with each other to fulfill the obligations of property use, maintenance and management in the property service contract to protect the interests of the owners. Especially when some owners closed the balcony without authorization, the owners' committee issued an announcement to all owners of the community to vote on whether to close the landscape balcony on behalf of all owners. According to the voting results, the owners' committee decided to maintain the agreement that the landscape balcony should not be closed in the original Management Statute. Therefore, in the case that all owners are not allowed to close the balcony by referendum, the behavior of some owners closing the balcony without authorization should be an act that infringes on the interests of all owners.
