It never ceases to amaze me that people have issues in strata and fail to exercise their rights.
I know its unpalateable to report an neighbours behaviour, or even to contemplate taking then to court. Both can be stressful and in the event of legal action can be drawn out and expensive.
But how much is peace of mind worth.
My story is of a resident in our small block who terrorised evreybody. he believed the strata was his kingdom.
In the last 3 years he has been counselled by the chairman and the strata manager, with no success.
A resident obtained an AVO (which was fully granted)
He had two notices to comply for behaviour issued in the last 3 years, and police were called on him several times.
Another resident asked for an AVO just a month ago.
He eventually was not on speaking terms with any other resident. It took 5 years but we finally wore him down and he sold and moved . Yeah.
He still thinks he is right
It took a lot of emotional effort, and expenditure on the part of the residents who took out AVOs. But that’s what it may take sometimes.
