    I wonder what the reaction might be to a notice beside the building entrance at ‘open for inspection’ time advising prospective purchasers/renters to verify the OC’s position on any representations regarding such things as tolerance of parking in visitors’ areas; the acceptance by ‘Strata’ (and the household downstairs) of the recently-installed wooden floor discovered by the Executive only when the planks were delivered; the marginally ventilated basement store-room with one power point that has miraculously morphed into a studio/home office (“see the monitor on the table in the corner and the rug that we have put on the bare concrete floor”); and pet friendliness (one dog allowed after scrutiny of its immaculate credentials).

    One can be torn between, on the one hand, not wanting an arrogant owner to benefit from treating the general body of occupants with contempt and, on the other hand, putting any obstacle in the path of their prompt departure on acceptable terms!

    It is important to ensure that any correspondence is on file where it will be seen if a prospective purchaser’s solicitor reviews the files with due diligence.  Unfortunately renters in the present Sydney market are unlikely to be fussy enough to do that.
