Discontent has erupted in the Monument residential complex in Surry Hills as residents have been faced with a unique issue. A US pornstar and his boyfriend are currently renting one of the apartments in the Monument residential complex, which is situated to overlook Oxford Street鈥檚 gay-mile.
Working from home is a practice that most Australians will be familiar with, with non-essential businesses being urged to work from home. The porn industry has evidently been faced with the same restrictions.
Neighbouring tenants in the Monument complex have, according to The Sydney Morning Herald, complained about visitors to the couple鈥檚 apartment. Given the nature of their work, there has been a lack of social distancing involved in meet-and-greets organised by the couple via social media.
The Monument complex鈥檚 urges residents in the complex to 鈥渂e considerate of your fellow residents鈥� and encourages 鈥済uests to arrive and leave respectfully and quietly.鈥�
听The Sydney Morning Herald that authorities have been called to the building on multiple occasions, at least three times. One incident in August involved both police and ambulance services being contacted. According to The Sydney Morning Herald, a police spokesperson has stated that 鈥渢he incident is not of public interest and would cause no concern for other residents.鈥�
The strata committee, a body representing owners or nominees of owners and responsible for the day-to-day running of the strata scheme, has nevertheless decided that the couple is 鈥渄isturbing the peaceful enjoyment of surrounding lots with extreme noise.鈥澨鼳 letter has also been sent to all residents听asking them to show respect for one another but warning against bullying, harassment, verbal and physical abuse amongst residents.
The letter read, 鈥淲e all have the right to live and work in environments free of unacceptable and unlawful communication and behaviour. Let鈥檚 all show the respect and courtesy to others that we expect to be shown ourselves.鈥�
The strata committee has served the couple with a notice requiring them to comply with the by-laws of the Monument complex, and that if they fail to comply then mediation and a penalty notice may follow.
