In most cases what you have bought is the flat not any of the common areas. A lease may specifically state that items should not be left, and even if it does not, that does not mean that you can, as, in most cases, the only rights you have over the common areas is to enter and leave the building. Items may seem innocuous, however at 3 am, smoke blind in a smoke filled corridor, these are obstructions that could have lethal consequences.
Rather than argue the point, try discussing making provision for bikes and prams in a storage area, and rather than paying the landlord’s contractors bill, get volunteers and install one with their consent. Similarly with the right paperwork wireless CCTV linked to someone’s PC is a cheap security option.
Balconies have similar restrictions usually for aesthetic purposes as while some don’t mind seeing No 11’s freshly laundered bondage wear, they object to no 15’s tired and holed pants. Consider some form of screening ….
