This article discusses wrong strata breach notice, outlining an owner’s rights and the steps to take when falsely accused of breaching a strata by-law.
I recently received a letter accusing me of breaching a bylaw. The breach was for parking in the visitors car park. The notice included photographs of the offending cars, but they do not belong to me. I feel most outraged. What are my rights?
You should raise this immediately with your strata manager/strata committee in writing
If you consider you have been wrongly maligned, you should raise this immediately with your strata manager/strata committee in writing. It is unlikely they will pursue you if you can demonstrate that you do not own the offending vehicle(s) and you should insist that a letter/email be issued to you confirming their error (to counterbalance the first letter, though your own letter should suffice).
