Thanks Whale
My hackles remain up by this right royal stuffing around as the unit directly above me, in which the fire started, was one of many overcrowded units within this complex. This is why I refer to an ‘offending owner’ allowing such tenancy, and the OC toothless to prevent such.
Thus, I believe, the owners have ‘offended’ either actively or passively by permitting overcrowding. Yes, I agree, the damage to my apartment was caused by the efforts of NSW Fire & Rescue to extinguish the kitchen fire and I am grateful their efforts still provide me with a roof over my head rather than losing all.
However, these events would certainly be minimised if overcrowding and other issues were adequately and properly enforced.
