The following outlines a reasonable set of steps to follow if you are concerned about the behaviour of others in the strata scheme.
Noise in excess
If another resident is causing inconvenience by loud music or voices, especially late at night, you should:
- Politely ask, as a neighbour, that they reduce the noise to an acceptable level.
If no appreciable response: - Call the local police and report the matter, noting the date and time of your call.
- Formal Complaint to strata company – Complete and lodge a report a nuisance form
Parking
Residents and Tenants parking incorrectly i.e. access to or exit from your assigned parking bay blocked / or car bay used by another vehicle at any time.
- Try to locate the driver of the other vehicle and politely request them to move the vehicle and ask that they not park in the area again.
If situation not rectified: - Take a photo of the vehicle including registration plate etc . Complete and lodge a report a nuisance form.
Generally – Breaching of by laws
If, in your opinion, another resident or their visitors are behaving in such a way as to cause concern, inconvenience, or damage to the property or littering,
- If possible, speak with the person concerned
If situation not rectified:
- Try to locate the offender and politely request them to cease this behaviour, if not you can escalate this matter to your strata manager. The new reform will see that sufficient information is provided along with the issuing of a Breach notice, therefore take photos details as to time of incident, who and what occurred and complete and lodge a report a nuisance form.
