A valuable contribution Scott - thanks. BTW, I meant Strata Manager, we have each others addresses but I don't appear to be included in the correspondence and it has been going for a couple of years - I indicated this im my original query. Can anyone just let me know how they communicate...

So, I am one of three Exec members in a block on 15 units - its an "L" shaped block with 6 units in one stairwell and 9 in the other stairwell, i'm the only Exec member in the 9 stairwell. Anyway, I don't see the other two members often but I am kind of aware that they communicate regularly...

You got to be kidding !! You live in Dee Why 6 years ago, had a cockroach infestation and now consider Dee Why a "ghetto" with a severe crime problem and, it took you an essay to explain that!! You obviously have no idea "First timer" if you say that Manly Vale is an upmarket area of the...

Can anyone explain this to me? Far out - so over this.. The Executive Committee have not turned down your proposal however they have requested that you present a Special By-law to be passed at a general meeting of all owners. This has been the procedure in the past and they request it be...

Last week I put forward a request for aircon in our unit - I've provided the Body Corporate (BC consists of myself and two others) with plans and full quote including details of installation. I have heard nothing! In the past, other members respond to emails within 24 hours and I am getting...

Bit of an update and a couple more questions! So, our fourth complaint letter went out to these tenants after laughing and loud talking on their balcony from 9.00pm to 11.30pm on Monday evening. Our Strata Manager said that a letter has been sent to the Real Estate and owner as well...

Thanks so much - gives me hope to think we do have rights to the quiet enjoyment of our home. Ace - This noise has been going for about 4 months, thankfully not the full 9 years, we would have left long ago if that had been the case. We are just nervous going into summer and very concerned...

Thanks Luckyone. We actually had a third letter sent to the yesterday, they would have just got the letter this afternoon and things are worse than ever, they don't care and are obviously proving a point right now - thumping on walls, laughing on the balcony - we will have this from now 6pm...

As my title states, I am wondering how much concern landlords have in regards to difficult tenants? By difficult I mean those that cause damage, annoy other residents with parties / noise and generally ignore by-laws? (I'm specifically talking about strata unit blocks. Over the last 9 years...

I'm just wondering if reverse cycle aircon is considered a good selling point in a unit? I'm just about to get some quotes, expect to pay about $1400 for the aircon unit and about $500 for installation - does that sound right? We don't really want aircon but need it as we have terrible...

Thank you so much! I would love to be able to hold our currently property to rent out and buy a new one - I think we are virtually neutral on this property if that were the case. Thing is I am nervous about being that exposed - I calculated we would need to go into debt $910K to do that...

I'm really not sure what to do here so hoping for some feedback. We currently have a $280K mortgage on a $500K unit on the northern beaches in Sydney - its a great unit, fully reno'd with a view of Long Reef Headland, faces east and is quite large at 100sq. After owning this property for...

Sez - I just found in NSW that "No Grounds" - notice during a periodic agreement (which they must now be on) - is 90 days. So even after the 90 days is up they can continue to stay? I think I can comfortably presume that these PM's are now becoming aware of why I was complaining...

Thanks again all - very much appreciated. Bit of an update : Here is the email for our strata manager "I called the real estate and have been advised that the tenant is on notice and will be out as soon as possible. Really sorry but she would not elaborate further, no guarantee when...

Thank you all for replying... Can't the landlord just not renew the lease at the end of the tenancy? Also, obvious the complaints came from us as the details I sent to the managing agent were incidents that involved us. Another guy in our block has lodged an AVO against the tenant too so...

I'm just wondering if landlords care about other residents when it comes to difficult tenants? I'm in a block of 9 units and two years ago a man and his girlfriend moved in - they are absolutely repulsive people. He shouts obsenities to people passing by the block, walks around common areas...

Just wondering how best to value your property for sale? I've just had a local agent give me a price quote for my unit (he valued at $495-$500K) - with my own research, buying HPG's, looking at other similar properties and constantly looking on RE.comau - my figure comes more in at...

I have a question for landlords, particularly those who own in a medium size strata complex (NSW). Would you want to remove a tenant that is a nuisance to other residents in a block? By nuisance I mean loud music / clapping hands and deliberately setting out to intimidate and cause conflict...

Thank you!

Thank you - very helpful :) PT_Bear - For point 2, is there a minimum / maximum period of both properties settling? Say if there is a cross over of a week or two? Seems all so comoplicated, don't know how anyone does this....
