I really think Reddant’s remedy lies in having a ‘cease and desist’ letter on a legal letterhead posted to the amorous miscreant. I could almost guarantee that a threat of legal proceedings from a lawyer if the behavior continues will be sufficient to ‘nip it in the bud’ before you need to get the strata committee involved or threaten breach of by-laws (although your lawyer could include this in their letter). The offender should be sufficiently intimidated by your legal stance, at then avoiding meeting you at all costs on common property; or maybe moving out altogether to avoid further confrontation. Spending a few hundred dollars $$$ on a lawyers letter will be worth your trouble. It’s my experience that most committee members and managers don’t want to get involved in other residents conflict issues. Plus you may find involving other people in such a personal issue embarrassing. So get a lawyer!
Post a task on Airtasker calling for a lawyer to undertake this very simple task for you. The cut price rates for bidding on Airtasker by competitive lawyers who are desperate for work, might lessen the financial burden on you and permit you to enter 2022 harassment free! Let the forum know how you go as I am anxious to find out having suffered unwelcome sexual harassment from unattractive and unappealing male neighbors myself.
