Memo's/ gen letters etc.
As Jennifer Paddock states the "the rules of natural justice must be applied - both sides to be heard", is this applicable even after many memo's, re-distribution of copies of Rules, talking to the residents etc. People just PLAINLY do not listen or refuse to obey. We've got to go through the process! even though you know they know. I don't know how many times we've done this and wasted trees!!!

Dear Shelly,
Its all about procedures, procedures and procedures.Taking the nessasary steps is to avoid any misunderstanding.
I think the cardinal principal Jennifer highlighted in the newsletter is that no man is to be judged without being heard.The facts of the matter must be commmunicated to the person who may be affected
You will not violate any individual rights and the steps are procedurally fair...Show More

RE: Memo's/ gen letters etc.
Thank you. Now in the case of an owner who rents out who do we call in the owner or tenant (tenant has behaviour issues - aggressive!), my understanding is we deal with the owner and he must sort out his tenant?? Tenant has accused trustees of breaking into his car etc verbal abuse etc etc - ugly.
RE: Memo's/ gen letters etc.
Hi
The owner is always responsible for the actions of anybody who occupies his section ((PMR 69). The Rental Housing Act further stipulates that the Rules of a ST scheme must form part of any lease agreement, so if the landlord does not adhere to this it would be an offence i.t.o. the RHA.
Any non-compliance of the scheme's rules by a tenant should be brought to the attention of the owner immediately and he should be instructed to see to it that his tenant complies. If this is not done the penalty procedure in your rules should be applied.
