Hooked

Dear Jimmy

I would to share my comments with you regarding NCAT.

Back in July 2015 and after an unsuccessful attempt for a Notice to Comply and mediation, my neighbour and I submitted individual NCAT applications with the same details,logs and supporting documentation regarding orders under Section 138 of the SSMA 1996 regarding insufficient floor coverings causing noise disturbance

My neighbour who was the most effected and suffered for over 15 months with the noise disturbance and behaviour of the tenant (owner’s son and partner) received no order against the owner and it was dismissed. But I, on the hand, received an order for breaches of Bylaws 1 and 8.

To this day, I still do not understand how two different Strata Schemes Adjudicators make their decisions as it appears that there is no consistency within NCAT.

It is a circus!
