A nasty situation has developed here in our Sydney strata of 38 units. There have been ‘cease and desist’ letters and visits to the police about harassment and threats. Nasty posters have been put up anonymously in the middle of the night, property has been damaged; all in a strata that was peaceful a couple of years ago.
It’s all built around someone doing the wrong thing which actually breaks by-laws, others complaining; the strata manager, to whom power is assigned, doing nothing and the executive committee doing nothing. They choose not to enforce by-laws without ever saying they choose. They say nothing, in actuality.
And they characterize the nastiness as a ‘personal dispute’ between owners.
The first question from the lawyer and the police has been “Can’t you get ‘strata’ or the ‘body corporate’ to do something about it?” The reply is, “No they won’t.”
Ignoring the fact that by-laws are being broken and this is being allowed to happen, my question is, ‘are strata managers and executive committees suppose to become involved when things turn sour on their patch like this?’ And even ‘Are the police and lawyers correct when they say ‘strata’ should be doing something about it?’
