Does the phrase "common property" have to be clearly defined in the bylaws? An earlier poster said if they maintained and cut the grass of my backyard that is common property, but they do not, i have to maintain this myself.
If it ends up my backyard isnt defined as common property does that mean im free to raise said ugly ass post?
Will the "eyesore" definition trump it?
And yes for the record add me to the "Condo Boards suck" vote.
Most people are reasonable folks, and anything that was that far out of reason would probably fall under a city bylaw infraction or even criminal activity.

Common property is defined by the Condominium Plan, basically anything outside of your unit's boundaries are common property unless you have a bareland condo, in that case the lot itself is the unit.
Without looking at your specific condo plan, I would say your backyard is likely common property designated for your exclusive use, so go with t99's suggestion and you might get away with it.
The "eyesore" clause is in a lot of condos' bylaws so the final say is still with the board, it doesn't matter whether the object that causes the "eyesore" is inside or outside the unit as long as it is visible from the outside. e.g. a lot of condos forbid for sale signs posted on the windows, laundry on the balcony, bedsheets as window coverings etc.
