This unit is in Sydney, NSW.

The tenant’s boyfriend was parking illegally.

Notices to comply were issued to the tenant, according to the minutes of a strata general meeting. The owner did not receive information pertaining to this.

The tenant was apparently sent 2 bills for $550 each that the owner was totally unaware of at the time.

The strata manager is saying they are not fines, rather cost recovery for legal advice and the strata manager’s time.The tenant has moved out without paying these costs and the Strata manager has transferred the cost recovery of $1100 to the owner.

What is the owner’s legal standing in this case? Seems to me that the SM should be pursuing the tenant’s boyfriend if indeed he has the right to charge him in the first place.
