Every so often, a resident in a strata scheme doesn't follow the rules — and the committee needs to respond. The most common disputes between owners include unauthorised parking of vehicles in another resident's car bay, nuisance pets, and excessive noise complaints. The recommended approach is to start with communication — often the resident may not be aware their behaviour is impacting others or breaching by-laws — and only escalate formally if early resolution fails. Effective by-law enforcement is about fairness and community harmony, not confrontation. That's the balance a good strata manager helps you strike. ⚖️
