      Ours is one of the ECs that don't want to bite the bullet. A notice has actually appeared on our noticeboard recently saying that disputes between residents are not the responsibility of the body corporate, and that residents should “call the police or take them to the Tribunal”. I don't know why these people bother to get on the EC…..The Secretary does nothing, we don't have a strata manager, there is a lot of frsutration here, but the EC have all the proxies sewn up…Bring on strata law change asap…I like Jimmy's suggestions re this.

        Many thanks for advice, Jimmy. I will pass this on. Unfortunately, AGMs are a joke as the current committee are entrenched and have enough proxies to keep doing what they are doing – or not doing. At our meeting last week there were fifteen owners present out of a possible 144, and about another 15 or 20 proxies. Most people have just given up here.

          The latest news is that apparently the leasing agent has said the tenants' lease will not be renewed, but that by law he has to give them 90 days' notice, which is supposed to be happening this week. Apparently he wants to handle the matter “gently” as he fears they may trash the flat and the building. Is this 90-day law true? It's obvious, though, that the EC have not done anything about the problem up till now, apart from writing once to the owner – this was listed in the minutes of the only EC meeting in the last year, held in October. (Most decisions are usually made on an ad hoc basis, I gather). I simply don't understand why the EC is so reluctant to uphold the bylaws – apart from being lily-livered..

            Thanks for both these posts. I know noise is a perennial problem but I appreciate having the steps to take set out and I'll pass this on to our reluctant EC.
