To answer your question, gather as much written evidence as you can from your neighbours and get an AVO that forces this person to leave you alone. This is not a strata issue – it’s a neighbourhood issue and has nothing to do with your strata plan … it’s a people issue.There are bullies outside of strata too, Me, I’m fed up with people who have issues with neighbours and blame it on living in strata.
One good thing about strata is that you are not alone – and I could tell you plenty of stories about nasty and aggressive neighbours in standalone houses who have made the lives of the people living next to them a misery … and they haven’t had anyone to support them.
Thanks Jimmy. Just want to be content where we are living. This guy is a bully. Unfortunately our friend in the complex who also stood up to him has sold and moved. Another guy in the complex who knows this person as a bully is very scared and timid. While the new owners are already being asked by the bully to side with him with him not telling them to not park in the common property (while with the previous owners, he made their life hell). Lastly, the 2nd villa which has tenants in place, this guy has told them rubbish and gotten their proxy – they couldn’t care less what happens here….
We’ve decided to not use the spot for now. A bully likes a reaction and enjoys the friction….if we don’t give him that satisfaction, I believe he’d be mighty angry anyway. Wonder how his and his wife’s life is in reality given they are always so busy pondering and plotting who to shoot here..
We are hoping to move homes anyway next year. But hope that he doesn’t bully our tenants the same way..
