Welcome to our life ! We have been through and are still going through exactly what u are going through. The problem with the Strata System is a lack of policing the Strata Laws. Allowing bullies to flourish.The only thing u can do is go to the tribunal which is what we are doing. In reality they have decided they don’t want u in their building and they are trying to wear u down. They rarely believe anyone will go to the tribunal as it means legal costs and most people shy away from this . Fair trading is unable to help u as they have no power over the Strata committee. You can go to the tribunal without a lawyer but your Owners corperation/Strata committee will use your levies to fight u with a lawyer at the tribunal. I wish I could offer u something more hopeful but this system is not structured to protect individual lot owners and the new laws have not gone far enough to stop proxy farming. We have endured a lot of harassment but will not be bullied out of our home. Wishing u luck and sending support from someone who totally gets it. Hang in there.
