    Basically the law says that if the “occupier” denies access, the Owners Corp needs to get an order from the Tribunal.  After that, if the occupier hinders access, they can be fined up to $550 and be liable for any damage caused in gaining access.

    That said, you are a long way off that fairly drastic stuff. The issue is that you are having to give up your time to facilitate something that is of little or no benefit to you, right?

    So put it back on the landlord or agent.  Just tell them that it’s inconvenient for you to be there so they will have to make their own arrangements.  They’ll have a spare key – let them use it.

    Just lock away your valuables and photograph everything that can’t be locked away, then leave them to it.
