    Whilst I am going to generalise, I’d bet the person is a tenant.

    Well, you know what they say about “assume” – it makes an ass of u and me.  The last time a case like this crossed the forum, the miscreant was the son of the owner; the time before that, it was an owner himself. IF the person is a tenant, some of what you say may be true.

     … as you are not an interested person as defined in the act, you are not legally entitled to see the OC records (to get the owners details).

    You’re half right, but for the record you are wrong about the definitinion of “interested persons”.  Occupants are defined as “interested persons” under section 226 of the Act.  But you are correct in saying that as non-owner, tenants have no rights to see the records of the strata scheme.

    That means the tenant CAN take action at the tribunal, but against whom is the critical question. However, I have a feeling that dealing with someone who threatens people with a sword is not going to be easily resolved by issuing notices to comply.

    This strikes me as more of a mental health rather than a strata issue and anyone in a similar position should perhaps read the Memorandum of Understanding issued by NSW Health and the NSW Police force or call 1800 011 511 for advice and information.
