In the 6 months since the SM & unit owner were made aware of this problem nothing has been done to stop the leak & repair the wall. Until this is done I am unable to rent the unit & so far have lost $16,000 rental income since March. It seems SM is trying very hard not to upset the other unit owner who was most annoyed when a plumbing inspection was organised.
I have not seen the bathroom in question but photos from the plumber show really dodgy hot & cold water pipes running along the wall in front of the tiles to the shower taps then in to the toilet cistern- obviously not done by a tradesman. Are you interested in a photo?
Encouraged by your advice, last week I emailed SM demanding he apply to NCAT for Interim orders to have the issue resolved urgently.
SM replied that he could not get an NCAT order on my behalf & I would have to apply initially. He suggests another cheaper option would be mediation through fair trading!
I appreciate your advice so far but what should my next move be?
