That's the exact wording in the strata bylaws "reasonable size aquarium with a reasonable number or fish" so I'd rather set up a 40-60 gal and deal with it later if they ever found out since like you said it's very vague and that's not a tank size people not in the hobby walk in and go "holy crap!" Like they do when they see anything over like 100 gal.
congrats on your new home! I just purchased a townhouse few months ago as well. If your place is a brand new place like mine, the strata is probably not fully functional yet. you may not get the answer from them now.

I have seen the strata that allows the tenant to have over 100G reef tank. I also have seen the strata that does not allow tenants to own anything over 30G. so it really depends on the strata.

However, it is important to have an insurance that covers water damage.
that's the first thing I did when I purchased my townhouse.

As for me, I have a RSM 130(34G) and I love it. I'm a big fan of RSM so I recommend RSM. I bought the used one and upgraded pretty much everything ( skimmer, pumps, lights, etc). I upgrade one by one to keep my interest on the tank.
