Hello and HELP!!!
I've been looking around for information about the laws and “who is right or wrong” with the whole floorboards argument.
We are first home owners and just bought a unit (upper level) on a small block of just 4. The block is 1930's built and the unit got original floorboards. This is a self managed block in Sydney north shore.
We haven't even moved yet!!! not even settled! and went to have a friendly meeting with our downstairs neighbour to make sure they know us and understand we are not a noisy crowd, we got no kids, no pets…. what we got in return on this meeting was a very agresive neighbour (old lady) with a copy of “fair trading” pages estating that the floors must be covered and carpeted through out.
I am very distressed with the whole thing, and really don't know where to look for information and wether this can be resolved in a friendly manner.
The neighbour also show us pictures of the other unit upstairs saying “you see is carpeted there…and you MUST carpet too…”
Please let us know what you think and how to take this forward, is very tiring and emotionally frustrating to deal with such an agressive person…
Thanks a lot and hope someone comes back to us with some thoughts!
