How we dealt with a smoking neighbour living in a strata
<p>We had a neighbour in a multi-unit building who smoked cigarettes and weed multiple times daily, hiding on his balcony behind rolling sunshades for roughly eleven months. Strata by-laws of our building stated that the unit occupier must ensure that tobacco smoke does not penetrate any other units (Smoke Penetration, Option A). Our neighbour denied smoking even though we saw the smoke coming from his balcony. We owned a unit, and our neighbour was renting. We could not convince our strata manager to send him a breach notice. When it all started, my wife was pregnant, and our neighbour ignored this. We had to keep our windows shut 24/7 as the smoke could penetrate our unit anytime. We could not use our private backyard. We didn't know who to ask for help.</p>
