Just realised something that has not occurred to me before. When you purchase a strata property you have to sign a legal document that you will comply with the bylaws. So for owner occupiers you are obliged to comply with bylaws.

BUT

In NSW a tenant has to sign a tenancy agreement which only states that he has to be given a copy of the bylaws, their is nothing to indicate that he has to comply with them, which seems to me a fatal flaw in enforcing bylaws against them.

Previous posts have talked about implied consent when towing or clamping an illegally parked vehicle, but this relied on the implied consent given by agreeing to comply with the bylaws (but in a tenants case they have not even given implied consent).

Seems to me tenants have more rights than owner occupiers.

In QLD the tenancy agreement states

(2) The tenant must comply with the by-laws. so in QLD it’s not a problem

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
