Thanks for all the good info.  To answer who is telling the serial offenders not to take any notice of the official letters/by-laws under wind-screens is the inexperienced Chairperson and the SM they instructed to send out a letter re ‘bogus letters and notes’. This Chairperson accepted assistance for a while but now knows it all.  (New resident who is not familiar with history of our strata.)  They’ve also indicated that the SM only works for them, no-one else.  Accepted that the SM takes directions from the EC/Chairperson, but the SM does work for us all.  The Chairperson is now telling the serial offenders to ring the SM and verify that the letter/by-laws has come from them.    Not sure what the SM is actually telling these residents, but feel it is to ignore the letter unless it has been posted.   This is why some residents are making sure the letters/by-laws are actually received because the strata roll isn’t updated, or landlords won’t pass the info on to their tenants. The SM did ask for updated details, e-mail addresses, etc, but people are slack and haven’t supplied.  The Chairperson was previously informed that a couple of the residences are in the old name and hence correspondence won’t be received – The new resident will just forward the mail to the old resident or bin it.  So, the Chairperson knows of the practice and has ignored any advice.  We suggested that they get the correspondence from the SM and actually place in the letterboxes themselves.  All the while we are being charged for photo copying and postage and the correspondence not being received.  The serial offenders (not only parking) are having a grand old time ‘doing their own thing’.  Our new Chairperson is also not screening the correspondence being sent out by the SM – the contents are not covering off on all issues and hence leaves gaps for offenders to ignore.
