Start a new discussion
Strata living often brings people of diverse interests and backgrounds close together. Disagreements and disputes sometimes arise. Hopefully, most disputes can be sorted out by the people involved, simply by talking about it.
Tolerance and understanding of others is essential to harmonious living. Proper communication is also vital.
The Strata Schemes Management Act 1996 sets out a process for resolving disputes. Before starting this process, a good first step is to talk to each other about the problem.
Talk about it
Sometimes people in dispute have not even spoken to each other about the problem. This makes it very hard to continue living together happily.
Have you made every attempt to resolve the dispute with the other party? Would it help to have the owners corporation discuss the problem at a meeting?
