It’s clear therefore that henrietta would need to get her E/C’s support to implement those “extra steps”, particularly as the S/M will be entitled to charge an additional “fee-for-service”, and so in that regard it would be a good idea for her to enlist the support of other Owners who are similarly affected by the noisy tenant.
Thank’s for setting me straight JGOWI.
I know an NTC is not the same as conciliation and then adjudication, but I asked our SM a few years ago what they charge to obtain a ruling and they told me the average charge is $2,000 (just the SM fee) but it depends on the complexity of the case and how long it takes to prepare the documents.
This would be payable by the OC and even if you win the cost is not claimable against the looser. Our SM is just a small one man operation so god knows what the big organizations charge.
