I’m on the EC of a strata complex in Sydney. We have had major problems over the last few years with one particular tenant parking not only in the visitors parking area, but also just parking her car in the middle of the driveway, infront of garages etc and basically making life difficult for everybody else.

We use a Strata management company and our manager is less than enthusiastic regarding dealing with the issue. We have had enough and issued a “final warning” notice (via the manager) about 2 weeks ago. The behaviour has not stopped and we have now asked the manager to advise the process for taking further action.

His plan basically said we need to call a lawyer, have them quote us, send the quote to a vote (which would need 75%+ to pass) and then the law firm will handle it. I’d always thought that the purpose of the tribunal was to keep it simple for small matters like this.

Does the managers plan of attack sound right? Or is he just chosing the easiest path for him? I’d have thought that it would actually be the manager who would attend tribunal for such matters. Does anyone have any experience with the tribunal in NSW?

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.
