Agree with Scottie – unless the costs notices are from NCAT or a District Court they are invalid. Some schemes send these out to scare residents – especially tenants – into obeying by-laws. It’s a form of bullying.
Nevertheless, your tenant sounds like a piece of work – he won’t park his car in the garage and now he won’t pay his rent because of an invalid fine.
You are being bullied by both parties but there is a simple solution – the tenant can be evicted for non-payment of rent. The committee can be invited to take you to NCAT to try to enforce their illegal fine.
You just need to extricate yourself from this situation and you really don’t need a law degree to do it.
