After moving into this building as a tenant, we were issued an enforcement notice, which we promptly corrected. However, upon further inspection, it became clear that we were the only tenants targeted, despite at least 33 other units in our building having the same or more serious violations.Our landlord explicitly authorised us to deal directly with the strata, yet the strata refused to engage with us and would not provide any explanation for why enforcement was applied solely to us. While they initially contacted us directly via chat, they now refuse communication and insist all matters must go through the landlord—despite having already exercised direct contact.Five months after the initial notice, all other violations remain unaddressed, even though evidence was provided multiple times. The lack of transparency, honesty, and equal enforcement raises concerns about selective or potentially discriminatory behaviour, which may constitute a breach of Section 26 of the Strata Property Act, requiring the strata to exercise its powers reasonably and in good faith.Additionally, there are serious safety and security issues: the building manager has taped open the stairwell doors, allowing unrestricted access to all floors. This creates a fire hazard and security risk, which is especially concerning in a residential building.Tenants should expect equal application of rules and a safe, secure building environment. The failure to respond to reasonable inquiries and enforce rules fairly is unacceptable and potentially in violation of strata legislation.
