Can we request the scaffolding be of certain type that allows us to park the car in the garage for the safety of our child?
You can try but it may not be possible even if they wanted to do it.
Can we request the works to commence and be concentrated on our side of the building to minimise the disruption period of 6 months?
It makes sense in any case for the work to be concentrated in one area for one period as scaffolding has to be hired and that’s an additional expense. Again, it may not be possible but it’s worth asking.
Can we request special permit to park our car on common area where it will not disrupt other tenants?
That is probably the easiest thing to achieve and is certainly worth exploring. Most by-laws forbidding parking on common property come with a rider of “without written permisson”. If they go for it you would want them to provide a specially designated space marked out as only for your car.
Are we entitled to reduction in our strata levies due to disruption to peaceful occupancy of our home to compensate us for renting a parking spot in an adjacent building?
It would be easier just to ask them to pay the cost of renting a car park – and this could certainly be used as leverage to get the car parking space on common property.
Make an appointntment to sit down with your strata manager and discuss the options with them.
