I have just been informed that I have misled all my loyal readers about the Notice To Comply process. In fact, not only do you not need to go to mediation, you don’t need to go to the “paper” adjudication. So the process is:
- Resident breaches by-law
- EC meets or strata manager decides to issue Noticie To Comply
- Resident continues breaching by-law
- EC or Strata Manager apply for the imposition of a fine
- Application is heard at a Tribunal.
So why is this process – which is even simpler than I thought – falling out of favour with strata managers? Read what Whale said happened when tenants in his scheme said they hadn’t seen the by-laws.
