should i dispute this letter? what is the SM required to provide me in terms of what evidence they have of my bad behaviour. why do i not get to defend myself? should i demand that the other two households also get letters and can i demand to see proof of this? finally, as tenants should these other two people not have gone via their managing agents to complain, not directly to the owners corporation? would that make their complaints void?
At the risk of repeating some of the advice already given here, we need to know if it was an official Notice To Comply? If not, by all means reply to the letter but otherwise you can just ignore it.
Tenants are entitled to the same rights and subject to the same rules as anyone else in the scheme (apart from voting at strata meetings), but if they are serial nuisances, and they are in breach of by-laws, then they are also in breach of their rental agreements.
Seriously, though, the sooner this blows over, the better. The more people take positions on issues like this, the more likely things are to get worse before they get better.
However, if a child is frequently acting anti-socially on common property then that comes under the by-laws about behaviour and if it’s causing problems for other kids, it should be brought to the attention of the strata manager
