Reply To: Incompetent manager & bullying owner blocking repairs

Hello

Finally, I have something to update!

After many long, stressful months (brutal, as I was doing everything myself including learning up about the law and representing myself at the tribunal), we have an outcome. Consent orders by the tribunal for the OC to fix the external water ingress problems (damp proofing and rising damp).

I learnt a great deal but it affected my physical and mental health. It was a lot of work and it was exhausting. I trawled through three years’ worth of emails to piece together events, to check and double checked my facts and to informed myself with the relevant sections of the OC Act that were breached.

I wished it didn’t have to go to the tribunal to be resolved – all because of one man’s malice, who went out of his way to obstruct legitimate maintenance issues, the complacency of the other owners because it didn’t affect their units, who allowed their minds to be poisoned instead of identifying the facts and issues for the themselves, who didn’t exercise their duty of care or didn’t know they have a duty of care under the OC Act, and a manager who enabled.
