German term or phrase: in dieser Form einheitlich aufs Schärfste ablehnen
Es wurde von den anwesenden Eigentümern festgestellt und stark bemängelt, dass in diesem Sommer im Haus (2) ein ständiges Kommen und Gehen von Gästen herrschte, was in dieser Form einheitlich aufs Schärfste abgelehnt wurde.

Any help with this part of the sentence would be much appreciated. I don't know if the meaning is that the other residents are strongly opposed to this or that the owner of the house strongly denies it...
