Refusing to assist

Since last year August I have had a noise nuisance complaint and until date nothing has been done , security refuses now to go and tell the people upstairs to calm down . It's constant banging jumping running until 10pm at night the only thing that actually works is loud music but what about the rest of my neighbours no investigations have been made I'm told letters and fines are issued but the problem persists. These people came into my unit to harrass me and screamt threats from there window nothing was done . Endless emails and calls still with no results . They think my life is a joke I was diagnosed with clinical depression after loosing my mother to covid in July they still refuse to assist . When asking for all the security transcripts of the issue it is now not for public eye. These people are more then the allowed number of people in a unit still a blind eye is given. There was a incident where they did drilling after hours and they were granted permission via management without getting consent from all the surrounding units . They just refuse to help at all .

Leanne - it is difficult to respond to your review without knowing the scheme where you live or the unit where you reside. A Sectional Title Scheme is run by the elected trustees who should enforce the rules in a scheme and especially prescribed conduct rules found in the legislation. A Managing Agent can only act within its mandate and has no legislative powers in the running of a scheme. The MA cannot force the trustees of a scheme to enforce rules, we can only advise them what should be done in terms of ST legislation. An unresolved complaint not dealt with by the scheme executives regarding noise and/or harassment should be addressed through seeking relief through the Community Scheme Ombud Service ( Your Owner Care Consultant should advise you of the process) and if necessary by laying a charge with the SAPS or taking out a restraining court order .
