Hi, everyone!
I was recently asked to remove a poster of my local counselor from my second floor balcony. Does anyone know if they are allowed to prevent this?
In my building the balconies are considered 'common' areas. In the letter telling me to remove it, they termed it 'advertising', which I guess it is.
However, given that it's not commercial 'advertising' for financial gain and instead relates to democratic elections, I wondered whether there should be more latitude? In other words, are my fundamental rights to participate in democracy by handing a sign on my balcony being suppressed?
If anyone has any information/guidance/etc. I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
