One thing though, be careful what you say about this person in any literature you send out to owners … there is only limited 'privilege' in strata committee dealings and you could find yourself hit with a defamation suit if there's even a whiff of malice.
Last time I checked defamation suits cost squillions to bring on and how many people living in apartments are worth suing anyway? (Rhetorical question.)
My experience of strata living is anybody can say whatever they like about anybody else; lies, innuendo… in writing or slyly circulated rumours and gossip. Anything goes. It's not even worth spending a couple of thousand getting an expert defamation lawyer to write a threatening letter. Nothing will come of it except the lawyer will be two grand richer.
