“Meanwhile, I suggest a strongly worded letter from your strata manager telling the RE agent that if they continue to mislead potential purchasers about the illegal use of common property, you will report them to Fair Trading and the Real Estate Institute with a view to having their license revoked”
With respect, I would not do this.
You are proposing that someone send a letter containing thinly veiled threats to someone’s livelihood based on the verbal evidence of two individuals who both have an incentive to fabricate the truth. If you’re wrong (because the owners weren’t being entirely honest when they shifted the blame to the agent), the best case scenario is the guy gets pissed off (and it doesn’t help your parking situation) and the worse case scenario is you get sued (and it doesn’t help your parking situation).
If the previous owner (or their agent) has mislead the purchaser then that is a matter for the purchaser and the vendor (or their agent). You should proceed exactly as you would normally do so when someone is parking somewhere they shouldn’t.
