Not so much a reply as a correction: It turns out that tenants can take the Owners Corporation to Fair Trading and the CTTT themselves. My mole in the OFT tells me: ” … a tenant can apply directly against the Owners Corporation for repairs to common property. They are an ‘interested party’ under the Act and can ask for mediation and seek orders.”
That’s interesting – if I ever knew that I had clearly forgotten.
I wondered if most tenants would want to pay the $74 to lodge an application but the Tenants Union of NSW tells me there's a cheaper and probably easier way to do it.
You spend $36 to apply to the Tenancy division of the CTTT and they can then order the owner to take the Owners Corporation to the CTTT in the strata division (which costs them the $74). The information is all here if you want to chase it up.
