A minimart landlord's request to let the public patronise its shop in a condominium was turned down by the Strata Titles Boards (STB), which ruled that such access had to be approved by the condo residents and its management corporation (MC).
The STB ruled that the Urban Vista condo was a residential development based on the Urban Redevelopment Authority's classification, and not a mixed development.
