Thanks Whale, it was well over a year ago now… so probably a little late but your advice makes perfect sense.
What about the original CTTT decision… does that not encourage them to sue me if I deprive a lot owner of ‘clean air’ or something?
My concern was selling the property encumbered with something that should not be there… how can I explain to a prospective buyer that someone else’s air-conditioning unit is on my balcony? It is screwed into the ground and balcony wall (inside) so it’s not visible to passers-by, but now seems to be falling apart and making loud banging noises… a bit like Chitty-chitty bang-bang!
I will write a letter to my neighbour as you advise, but don’t think they own the air conditioner as it’s not ‘within’ their lot property. I can send a copy to the Strata Manager (delegated as Secretary) for the attension of the Owners Corporation and add a condition for 7 days and see what happens.
I’ll get back to you next week once that’s all done. The Owners Corporation did install it but I was more disturbed it was all done while we were at work. It was more alarming that a Tradie went on someone else’s property without permission too!
I plan on upgrading my dog to a more vicious one in the future too!
Thanks Whale for your help; fingers crossed it works or gets the desired result… I don’t want to waste any more time with the Tribunal as they didn’t even consider the implications of leaving it on my balcony.
