Unexplained delays by the NSW government’s property tribunal has forced a Sydney woman, her five-year-old daughter and her elderly parents to move back into a damp, mouldy apartment.

Unexplained delays by the NSW government’s property tribunal have forced a mother, her five-year-old daughter and her elderly parents to move back into their damp, mouldy apartment.

Sarah Wu says her 80-year-old father, Jiyue, is in poor health and the dispute over repairs is exhausting., following silence from the tribunal for more than four months, the next day it contacted Ms Wu to inform her the case would have to be started again because it should have been run in the name of her parents instead of in hers.“It was such a shock and absolutely ridiculous as this had never even been mentioned before,” said Ms Wu, 45.

The building’s strata committee member didn’t reply to emails, while the director of the strata management company said he wasn’t prepared to comment.Ms Wu’s parents bought the three-bedroom apartment in the Lotus complex in Carlingford in 2013, 10 years after it was built. Soon after, Ms Wu noticed water leaking into bedrooms from the back balcony. Over time, it severely damaged timber floors, walls, blinds, beds, wardrobes and other fixtures and fittings.

Coalition would have next election ‘in the bag’ if they ‘stuck to their guns’What a load of crap. Social media has exposed the misuse of public monies, corrupt dealings in state and federal levels of the LNP. Polls are so in accurate and out of touch. Media has no sway with the majority of the voting population anymore So they made themselves a small target with no substantial policy ideas and just spent then whole scaring people about Labor’s policies. Then they have done very little in all the time they have had power apart from trying to placate a hard right wing element in their coalition In 2018 a Federal ICAC was promised to be delivered in Dec 2019. It still isn't. Scott went on holidays to boot. If they 'simply stuck to their guns' and kept promises they would have been cleaned out by now and in a minority government. Here we are Dec 2021, ready to vote.
