Hi, yes, make a fuss very much so. They also may come in from any nearby tree if that is a guide. And that can be a neighbour, or even a local council concern if you think it comes from a neighbour or even a tree in the yard.
Sounds like a home move may be less trouble.
When I said timber yard, that may be going too far. A local Bunnings timber section, or one of their wonderful problem solving folks, may have a tip that gets rid of them more speedily in the shorter term.
Sounds like not only landlord and agent but also the owner have let the problem go on without addressing or using preventative measures in the first place.
Are there any timbers or wood items around or in your home?
In my limited experience, termites eat into woods and timbers and can be a blight.
As a suggestion, consult another reputable pest inspector on phone first, or get in touch with a local timber yard which may have a specialist tip. Good luck!
Could depends on how you get on with the nearby neighbours generally, and with others in the building; perhaps some are disturbed also.
Have you checked if there are by-laws in your building concerning breaches with others privacy.
As well, if you have a strata managing agent, they may assist.
In my experience, local council also has had noise abatement rangers. This sounds like a neighbour concern though.
As far as I recall, strata manager’s name appears on the official notice.
I know they have to charge their time out.
Anyone know more?
Hi, Read detail only quickly. Do everything possible to argue your point. Fair Trading and tribunal mediation also way to go in my experience. Also getting as many other owners as possible onside helps. Also great if you and committee can fund a reasonable cost strata solicitor. Good luck!
That’s interesting thank you, and wondering if have read the thread ‘right.’ That is, if there is just one person as the target, would it be a case of civil rights, or straight out harrassment?
In my experience, definitely against the rules (don’t have actual reference, and am sure there will be one somewhere) to record or photograph anyone without their permission. Invasion of privacy suggests one reason.
Hi Jimmy, Excellent points and thanks for flying much needed flag on all our behalf/s.
In anticipation of more on same in your newspaper column.Hi, thanks the conversation, and on our ‘homes, our lives’ I have a query please. If the Tribunal has re-opened a hearing date, and no notice appears on the notice board, is that a procedural thing? When I asked around, was told it only went to strata manager and isssue between them and the applicant. Yet all owners may be affected by the outcome. Any comments helpful, much appreciated.
There is more on who can and who can’t on http://www.ocn.org.au
If I’ve read this ‘right’, I think anyone can search strata minutes if a respectful approach is made to a strata firm. Or maybe I have misunderstood the situation.
Perhaps it depends on the issue. I’m no expert; if you have online access, and the issue is not urgent, perhaps set up respectful correspondence, copying in the agent and strata. It it is urgent, I would act – phone and email copying in everyone – according to the level of urgency.
