Hi there
I am a landlord in Sydney and my Strata has sent me an email about my tenants creating noise and parties (see below) They claim there have been complaints and they are stating there has been a breach. Am I entitled to know the details of the complaints. What action am I legally entitled to take against the tenants?
Many Thanks
