    You can’t ban social housing tenants – but you can make landlords responsible for their behaviour.

    S 153. Owners, occupiers and other persons not to create nuisance

    (1)  An owner, mortgagee or covenant chargee in possession, tenant or occupier of a lot in a strata scheme must not—

    (a)  use or enjoy the lot, or permit the lot to be used or enjoyed, in a manner or for a purpose that causes a nuisance or hazard to the occupier of any other lot (whether that person is an owner or not),…

    And you can also make them responsible for their own behaviour by resolutely issuing notices to comply and following through on them

    But can we just get past the idea that social housing tenants are going to be a problem?  The worst problems I have encountered in strata have been with rich, entitled a-holes, who think they are superior because they’ve made a bit of money.

    Social housing tenats probably don’t pay for live bands to perform all day and night at weekends, or have mobile discos that START at midnight.
