      Some advice please. 

      A small strata block of 6, we’ve been trying for several years to remedy a dampness problem in one of our ground floor units. The block is over 80 years old, and after several attempts at various options, we have now decided to seek quotes for sub-floor ventilation in the worst affected unit. 

      Now – other ground floor unit is claiming they also have a damp problem. problem being: mould on shoes in cupboards etc. The biggest concern is that this aged owner refuses to open their windows and properly ventilate out of security concerns. Should we be responsible for this behaviour?  

      What course of action would you take? We can’t afford to just splash out an extra $3000 just to keep the old ones from grumbling! We have had several large special levies in recent years and are trying to keep costs to a minimum. 

      Really – I just want to grumble myself!
