Very interesting.
I am in similar situation where neighbours are unreasonably noisy.
Our strata manager/owners's committe have refused to sent the notice to comply.
The reason they gave me: people make noise,it can't be measured and nobody else has complained.
The units are positioned in such a way that it affects only me. They want me to deal with it on my own. So, is it their obligation to address these matter?
I have searched the net a lot and it looks like it IS their duty.
There are definetely laws that suppose to protect everybody from any sort of annoying improper behaviour.
It sounds something like that:The owner or occupier of a lot must not create noise that is likely to interfere with peacefull enjoyment of the property at any time ,must not be a nuisance etc.
However,how strong are these laws enforced?
I have heard some cases when tenants did not pay the rent and magistrate still did not order them out. Apparently it is not strongly supported by law to terminate the agreement.But I really don't know.
I personally would like to avoid negotiations by Fair trading or CTTT since I don't know the negotiator's skills and ability.
Trying to impose on others to change their natural behavior would
be difficult IMHO.
Getting the advice from the lawyer-I would love to do that but there is no garantee that this lawyer have reasonable knowledge of the issue.Personaly I had absolutely wrong and illegal advice from the lawyer I used to buy unit.
Do owners have to give any reason asking tenants to move out?

Joe
