Another question for you … is your tenant a recent tenant who has been complaining about this since he first moved in … or did the vehicle suddenly appear in his parking space well into his tenancy?
If the former, is it at all possible that the vehicle belongs to your previous tenant who decided it wasn’t worth his while taking it with him?

All that pmayes has said so far is that “strata won’t touch it”, and I assumed by “it” he meant the vehicle. No reason has been stated to us for this position, and it is so far just another assumption that this means that they have “washed their hands of it” (meaning the whole matter). I can think of at least one scenario (as above) why this may be the case.
I think this case also highlights one dilemma of strata … if the parking space is common property, the OC has a legal duty to remove the vehicle … but they have no legal right to do so … and the Government has no intention of resolving the dilemma.
That means that OCs have an unenviable choice: comply with the first law by breaking the second, or break the first law by complying with the second.
As all EC/OC decisions have to be minuted, perhaps all the EC/OC means is that they would prefer that the tooth fairy attends to the matter overnight without any paper trail leading to them.
