My son lived in an apartment where the people above him had the whole balcony covered with potted flowers. When they watered they soaked their balcony and my sons space. Sitting out in chairs was a dangerous activity. The watering also wasn't good for the construction. That may be one of the reasons why your manager does not allow plants on the balcony.
I agree with starting with herbs on the windowsill. First of all they smell wonderful and second they taste wonderful in cooking. It might help your yearnings for a veggie garden.
