Thanks TruleEConcerned

The noise was probably going on daily Monday to Friday between 8am to 5pm on and off. I was sympathetic to my tenant and was willing to negotiate rent and backdate it so that it would apply for the whole of July and then for the whole of August until end of the lease.

I now have new tenants in the unit who are paying $750 per week and have not complained.

She is asking for around $6,000 as compensation.

Thanks

Thanks all for your responses.

In the end, the tenant was scared off by the tribunal and we’ve managed to secure the month of rent owing at full amount.

They have asked if they can vacate on the 2^nd of August which is 3 weeks shy of the end of their lease so all in all a good outcome for all involved.

I have spoken with strata about me putting floorboards in. They have advised this should not be a problem a long as they are properly insulated. I have this in writing. I should point out that there are a number of other units in the building that have floorboards. In fact the unit above mine has them.
