Re: Police Drug raid on tenants unit.

Hi Digby,

thanks for this information. Never quite sure exactly how far the Strata rules and regulations extend, but I am learning. I appreciate the forum greatly because there seems to be a wealth of strata knowledge here.  It’s always so good to know we can go somewhere for feedback, so thanks for this.

This block is mainly older single owners who are pensioners and I know the situation worried quite a few of them. If I can help support them, I will certainly try, because they have a right to feel safe in their homes. They are owners and have lived here for many years and this tenant has only been there for around 6 months. I guess we can only hope the tenant moves on.

I am fairly new to strata, having bought a couple of different units/townhouses in different blocks that are managed by different strata managers.  My SM of this block is quite determined to keep going. So I I’ll be interested to see if she comes up with anything as the time passes.

 I do have to wonder, what good are all the strata rules and regulations if they can’t be enforced somehow.  This tenant has persistently broken one By law of ours, which is the dumping of rubbish and other materials on common property. This has been happening all along.  He is being asked numerous times to clean up, he tries for a while but then gets slack again. We have photos of the rubbish that were sent to the owner, who did nothing because its an investment only so they weren’t interested.

The actions of the tenant  brought a raid and search to the common property as well as the individual unit, so as the common property belongs to the strata does this have anything to do with the strata scheme? The search carried out was done in a most respectful and careful way by the police. So I am not in any way shape or form critical of them. It was the actions of the tenant that caused this circumstance.
