Since the beginning of this year 4 residences were sold in our strata complex.

When the new owners of two of those properties moved in, one of them parked his car in the visitor car parking area, while another new owner had two cars, one parked in the single garage, the other on common property.

When I gave the first new owner a copy of the summary of our bylaws which clearly highlight that residents’ cars must be parked only in the single garage attached to their townhouse he told me that the real estate agent had advised him it was ok to park in the visitor car parking area.

The second new owner advised the real estate agent had indicated they could park their second car on a small area of common property next to their single garage but immediately in front of the fire hydrant, making it impossible to use that hydrant in case of fire in any of the 19 lots the strata complex is made up of.

Although both owners, or their solicitors, would have searched our Owners’ Corporation records, including the bylaws, and should have become aware of car ownership issues, can our Owners’ Corporation in some way address the unwarranted comments of the real estate agents in question?

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.
