Just getting back to ‘wooden furniture’ in storage cage for a moment. Im questioning the claim re insurance. Very often, stuff in a cage is covered by furniture covers etc so there may be many more ‘wooden ‘ items in the cage that the OC are not aware of. Also, what about books stored in the cage. Mostly anything stored can burn. So im questioning two things. Insurance coverage & what exactly is mentioned in the pdf associated with the insurance. This could effect so many ‘storage cages’ surely?
Can you video his abusive behaviour, take to police and gain an AVO against offender?
If others are receiving abuse, they can do the same, then you have a number of AVOs against the same offender.
Surely that must carry muster at some stage. Also, if not alcohol based, could be, if aging, a form of dementia or alzheimers?
We had one in our complex, very intimidating & abusive. He passed away eventually.

Agree. Two of us in the same complex offered our emails to AI re our separate issues.
The AI response was perfect re both issues.
We separately emailed the AI response & got a positive outcome shortly thereafter.
Recommend AI as it does not use emotion 🙂
I concur. I have a DV tenant in my granny flat property for the past 18 months. I would have had second thoughts had I known these dictatorial rules were going to come into force. Fortunately, my tenant has been great, but given the new rules, I would [not] rent to another ‘just in case’.
Many Landlords, like myself, want to help people exposed, but with a granny flat being part of your own property, you take the risk of taking the chance you and/or your own family may be exposed.
I think the decision to put the onus on the Landlord will backfire with many of us reconsidering our options & refusing DV tenant sadly.
Our lives are complicated enough with cost of living, Reckless renewable power costs and our safety in general.
Time will tell but my guess is this will negatively impact DV tenants.
This should be under health & Safety. Ie: if the person has aged care can’t they request a rail for someone disabled? It would help visitors to the property too in regards to safety. Should be a fairly inexpensive thing to do & surely common sense would suggest it’s a necessary not a nice to have
Can Land & Environment Court be considered?
Example: Neighbours planted cane on their side of the fence (private property).
My side of the fence is a Strata Apartment. The cane grew to be 30 metres high blocking sun to two bedrooms. I applied to Land & Environment Court to have the cane cut back to 2.3 metres & maintained OR removed completely.
Land & Environment Court came to site, listened to both owners & dcreed cane should be removed in its entirety. If Court orders were not followed, penalties would be applied.
Outlay to me $130 to submit issue to Court & time to provide copies to neighbour & council of submission. Attendance at court (first hearing) & attendance on site (2nd hearing)
My observation is that ‘the committee’ will ask the tradie to do a little side job for them to get the gig. Nothing is in writing of course, they may be fixing a plumbing issue or painting a common property area for example and the collective committee may ask the tradie to pop in & have a look at their issue.
No proof of course as a tradie could be going into a committee members apartment to confirm a query, but there are 5 committee members in our owners corporation who have run the complex for 12 of the 13 years since the complex was built & THEIR apartments are perfect as are the regular proxies that vote them in year after year.
Most Stratas find it difficult to get anyone involved & be on the Committee but not our complex. We have tried to break the pattern by putting our hands up as alternative Committee members but it never changes. White collar crime indeed!
Jimmy, interesting subject. Buying to downsize in the future.
I bought into an over 55s complex of 21 strata units in 2010. I moved out in 2014 & moved back to my big home. I have rented the apartment over the last 10 years.
During the last 4 years, i moved out of my home & built another home overlooking a lake on the Central Coast. Love it here. Moved in before Christmas 2022.
This year 2023 I decided to sell the over 55s apartment. Could not sell so had to do a rethink. Decided I could no longer hold the ‘family’ home. Recently sold that and a tenant was found for the over 55s apartment.
So now I live on the Central Coast, in a larger home, with a granny flat in the rear (also rented), which gives me the choice, as I age, to either move into my granny flat OR move back to Sydney to over 55s apartment if I want to be back near family. (Im now 70). I may have to sell this house or just tent it out too. Will see how I’m placed financially.
Point being, I did what your speaking of, I planned for retirement 10 years ago & though the plan changed, the downsized apartment is still there should I choose to use it in the future. I’ve paid a lesser buy price & my family can make some money from it after my demise. Win, win I think.
What does this mean for our gas bbqs?
I’m interested in this also. I asked Strata to obtain a report for water ingress to my apartment. If no water ingress found, I agreed to pay. If water ingress found, it would be covered by Owners Corporation. There was an external area noted which the Owners Corporation repaired after the report was received but the whole invoice was charged to my Levies & accrued interest until I paid the full amount. I also could not vote at the AGM last year. What is my legal redress for this (if any) or I just suck it up. Cost approx $1800. Thank you
