Thanks, you are of course correct, no, I haven't been to jail, I guess it was just a loose expression of a feeling of helplessness where the gaurds ruled.

That aside, I am going to the sheriffs today and going to have the tribunal re hear the matter, including the extra access that has been now blocked as well.

As far as getting the BM fired, it's mision impossible, he is an owner also on the EC and seemingly the sole ruler of the property.

I think it's an unstoppable thing in those regards, and the next people will cop just the same.

What has made me go forward, this guy standing in the foyer, grinning with his huge set of keys attached to his belt, while we struggle past with the shopping 2 bags at a time, from blocks away. That's the mentality I'm dealing with.

Thanks to everyone for advice, we went to the tribunal, got an order, it's been over 7 days now which was the orders timeframe and nothing at all has been done to pay the compensation nor restore our carspace.

We have given up, there is nothing that a tennant can do in the face of an owners corp, I guess it's live and learn, we will try never ever to rent a strata title unit again, because the result is that your life is micromanaged and it is no different to living in a prision.

Just an update on this.

We did indeed go to the tribunal as sugested just this week and won our hearing as it was not contested.

Unfortunatly, nothing has changed, exept for the buliding manager has now deactivated another access key for us now leaving us with only the pass key that gets us through the foyer,that's next??

We had to make our case against the estate, who still say we must contact the strata managers, who do nothing.

The only action they have taken is to give us the exact same by law breach notice over 1 month later, only this time the “offences” have now been spelled out at length. The first notice had 2 pages the new one had 6! Also saying we have a dog, which we don't have.

We were told a girls bike chaind once in the foyer devalued the property and was a major OH&S issue etc.

This was after they found out we were going to the tribunal!

 The bottom line is this for us, the building manager does whatever he likes, composes his own braches real or imagined is totally unapprochabe.

We can do nothing to stop him, when we try we are in the wrong. This is like living in a prison for us, he even has photographed us unloading our shopping with his cell phone. It's frustrating. Yes, we want to move, but I know that's going to be more heavily policed that Mr Obamas upcoming visit.

Also we will probably have a bad tennant history over this.

How can we stop this, what can we do? The tribunal means nothing to this man.

A bit of an update on this issue. Firstly, when the time comes we wont be using removalists, just a few friends willing to help.

(i) only carry out the transportation of Goods at the building between 9:00am and 4:00pm Mondays to Saturdays.

I have multiple photos of other tennants moving in aftr 9pm on a Saturday evening, no building manager in sight, also with items leaning against the lift interior with no padding (one lift has the protective padding permanetly in place).

I'm not going to pay $200 to a buliding manager who is selective when it comes to enforcing by laws!

Thank you for the swift reply, I will try that, although my landlord is very reluctent to act on anything.

I mde a new post in a different section that gives some background.

What would happen if we refused? Would wse be held in custody by the OC? I knows that's a silly example, but what does happen, could we prove that $200 is a hardship, given the fact that our likely return will be $0 after costs are taken away.

Why cant the money be held in trust by a third party eg: CTTT and administerd the same way as a rental bond?
