We have recently returned to our apartment after spending four months in Cambodia with a pledge to ‘occupy our minds’ with creative and good things. This lasted a couple of days. Prior to our leaving the Strata Manager was instructed to issue a ‘Notice to comply’ on two sets of tenants due to ongoing breaches of by-laws. This was not done. On our return it appears that these tenants have had free rein on the building (and if not mistaken have grown in number). As a result, in the short time we have been back the tenants have:

1. continually tampered with the security door (damage to common property)

2. shouting, screaming, loud music, etc. (noise)

3. double parked, refitting vehicle in no parking area (vehicles)

4. used wheely bin as a ladder (damage to common property)

5. swore at us (behaviour of owners and occupiers)

6. anti-social friends – drunk, noisy, using the driveway as a urinal etc. (behaviour of invitees)

7. beer cans, beer bottles, pizza boxes etc left on common property (depositing rubbish and other material on common property)

 

They deny this of course. We are now at a stage where we want to sell our apartment and move back to Cambodia. Is there any legal action we can take to compensate for the repeated anti-social behaviour of the tenants; for the inaction of the individual owners of the two units (they have been contacted but refuse to act); for the inaction of the owners corporation (our concerns have been minuted over past meetings); and for the inaction of the Strata Manager. This has caused us a great deal of stress and anxiety, and has affected the value of our property.
