It’s tenants in our complex who generally ignore the parking bylaws and taking action against them is just a formality if they are breaking the rules, but then they just move out and we have to start all over again.

But what about taking action against the owner of the property who allows his tenants to break the bylaw and does nothing about it. They would also be breaking the tennancy agreement and so the owner is well within his right to take action against them, but few do.

Taking action against the owner would enable you to hit him with fines of up to $5,500 once you have a successfull ruling against him and this could be against different tenants because he is failing to ensure the bylaws are complied with.

Not sure how long a ruling is valid for in NSW (QLD it’s 6 years and fines are max $40,000).

Just wondered if this is feasable as I can find no previous ruling about this online (in QLD or 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.
