Hi, we are leasing an industrial warehouse in Sydney NSW that is a shared yard with another unit, plus a high voltage power line easement running through the middle of the yard.
On our lease, it makes no mention of the easement or any restrictions of use. We have a diagram supplied by the landlord showing the outside areas that are ours and that are shared zone. We stored our stock in the area shown as our zone.
After five years Transgrid come along and say we have to move all our stock from our zone that is on the easement!
So i was looking into this issue and apparently there will be a thing called a 'lease of easement' which should outline the permitted usage of the easement.
Now as the tenant we have never seen the lease of easement, so i asked Transgid what the permitted usage their lease of easement states?
His reply was quite surprising to me, he said "the lease of easement is irrelevant". He says the safety regulations he gave me have to be obeyed.
So he gave me a list of contradictory regulations, and when i said this rule contradicts that rule his reply was, "well you need to read this rule in conjunction with this other rule" I have never heard anything more ridiculous, i mean he can basically make up any interpretation he feels like this way, how are we supposed to know what is right and what is just his opinion?
