Feb 2021 update,
My tribunal hearing is scheduled for early June-2021. As since the directions hearing I now have an accoustic consultant and bookings he heavily booked. Then the respondent(landlord or owner) has four wks to reply.
The problem is the here and now with the tenants. The strata this wk said they won’t mediate when there is a dispute of this nature when it’s only between two neighbours, as opposed to a dispute if multiple neighbours were complaining about one neighbour Eg a party animal neighbour, who has house parties all the time…
It was disappointing the strata’s response, but probably predictable.. So these tenants are effectively continuing slamming the doors in there unit(and front door of there unit) as much as they like with no enforcement done, hence me being powerless to stop them… It’s all very frustrating.. With the front Lot doors, that is an OC matter, and I will table an item on the agenda for the next meeting in April-2021… But yes it’s very frustrating as it’s so time consuming, to actually solve the noise problem Eg a waiting game. The accoustic report will be comprehensive. I hope from that report, that NCAT rules in my favour and orders the owner(my upstairs neighbour), to make internal accoustic adjustments to his flooring(wood floors), and internal doors. Any ideas to mediate with the current tenants would be welcomed. Community justice mediation they would have no interest in I doubt(young guys early 20’s who like to party, I doubt they even heard of CJM).
But yeah a nightmare situation with the noise going on continuously and the strata refusing to mediate…
