Hi Jimmy,
Yes, he did get permission to do the ceiling, floors and bathroom. There was quite a fight as he initially refused to accept the wording of the by-law and kicked up a huge scene about having to pay and register the by-law. He also threatened to take us all to NCAT when we pointed out one plan would change the appearance of the front of the building and refused permission.
You can get an idea of the sort of person we are dealing with. I wondered about whether we can get the work checked to see that it has been done properly and legally but our Strata Manager at the time said we couldn’t do that. We do get annual fire inspections so hopefully they check this.
He has said all along that he is intending to move in but keeps renting it out as he claims he can’t afford to live there. Our fingers are all crossed that he will put the place on the market. I am dreading going home every night in case I run into him.
Sorry about the long raving posts but just telling someone has been a great help and I really appreciate your advice 🙂
