We have a similar problem with our strata complex … there is not much we can do. Strata sends a letter every now and then, they stop doing it for a few weeks and then start again.A horrible way to deal with it is to let their tyres down, scratch their car and then hopefully they won’t do it again!!!
For repeat offenders there is a lot you can do. Notices To Comply apply to the NEXT offence, rather than the last one, so they can be fined.
Repeat offenders could have a CTTT order taken against them, where the maximum fine goes up fro $550 to $5500. You could also use the threat of an order requiring them to use the garage for its purpose.
Finally, and I hate to get all StrataNanny about this, but scratching cars, letting down tyres, and putting nails in them are all criminal damage. If the person drives off with a flat tyre, has an accident and hurts themselves or, even worse, someone else – you are in a life-changing world of pain when one of your neighbours dobs you in.
Have a look at this page to see the legal avenues for rubbing these problems out. All you have to do is put one owner through the mill and everyone else will soon get the message.
