Is the end of the fixed term lease a valid reason to terminate?
Hi Jimmy,
Could strata plans restrict the type of pets?
Allow gold fish or birds but not dogs or cats for example.
Hi Imogen,
I believe most buildings would have a ‘False Fire Alarm’ by law.
Our buildings by law says “…the power to recover from the responsible owner, all false alarm charges imposed by the NSW Fire Brigade…”
In your case, if your building had a similar by law you could demand payment from the owner, not the tradesperson, as the OC has not employed the tradesperson, the owner has.
The owner may them make a claim against the tradesperson.
Hi Jimmy,
That is exactly what my building has done.
If any non registered person is using a swipe card it will immediately cancelled.
Millie may be correct about the legal standing but by the time it goes to NCAT & a order made, it will be months.
The building did this to a resident renting his unit via airbnb & the resident vacated as it was going to cost too much in lost airbnb earnings before a NCAT order was made.
Hi Jimmy,
Even its allowed under the law, could a by-law like:
If a security swipe card is used by a person other than a registered owner or tenant on an approved lease agreement being no less than 3 months, the OC has the right to immediately cancel all swipe cards pertaining to that unit.
What are your thoughts?
Cheers
Luke
Hi all,
In relation to cloned access cards.
The main reason for cloning cards is overcrowding.
I manage a large strata plan in Sydney & without being to confusing I will give a point form run down of what I do.
* I will search the suspected cloned cards history on the security system. All cards have individual & identifiable numbers.
* I will then view on CCTV whom is using the card & when.
* If the same card has been used, within say an hour or two, by 2 different people, I will immediately void the card. Voiding the original will void the cloned ones too.
* When the voided card does to work, the person will come to me saying “my card is not working.”
* I will issue a new card without telling the person & tell them I have just re-set the old one.
* The suspected cloned card is now on my desk.
* Should this, now voided card, be attempted to be used again we know it has been cloned.
* If so, an email will go to the owner & most will terminate the lease agreement.
Hope this helps
As a building manager of a very large scheme in Sydney the process we follow is that the OC would fix the pipe then invoice the owner of the lot.
The owner of the lot could then chase the tenant for the cost of the repair.
Hi helene
If damage is caused to a lot owner’s property while the owners corporation are effecting a repair, the owners corporation are responsible to fix the damaged property.
However, if the cause of the damage to the owner’s property was not made when the owners corporation were fixing the problem; instead it was caused by the problem itself, then the owners corporation are not responsible to make good the owner’s property unless the owners corporation can be deemed negligent.
