    On the point of the lawyer saying it’s strata responsibility, this is only partly true.  Common law exists anywhere and everywhere and verbal abuse is an assault in most states. Can you imagine if someone was murdered in an apartment and the police said “oh, this is a strata issue!”?

    Strata laws and by-laws are a layer of regulations on top of common law and they exist “as well as” not “instead of”. Talking to the police about your options might be a good idea.
