Firstly, in NSW the Owner of a rented lot is legally required to provide the Owners Corporation with their tenant’s details within 14 days of the Lease commencing (see HERE); perhaps your Strata Manager should pursue that avenue where a penalty of $550 may be imposed.
Secondly, whilst the proforma Notice to Comply (NTC) provided by the NSW Office of Fair Trading includes a field for the name of the owner or occupant, I’ve in the past, although in a different circumstance, issued and successfully enforced a NTC issued to the “Legal Occupant” and copied to the Owner.
I was able to state at the NSW Consumer, Trader, and Tenancy Tribunal (CTTT) that, in accordance with my Affidavit, I had personally served the NTC upon the person who I knew to be the occupant of the lot – although I admit that success at the CTTT too often depends on how the parties conduct themselves and who it is that makes the ruling.
