朋友在澳洲有个公寓，几年前买的，后来移民澳洲没办成，就改成出租了。（所以他本人没有澳洲的任何身份。只是那套apartment的屋主而已）。最近中介转交给他一封信，居然是去年council没有投票的罚单，隔了一年了，已经产生了很多乱七八糟的费用。现在应该怎么办？这事找谁去说啊，大家出个主意吧，分分感谢！

问问交罚款给Pr吗。不给的话不交

Simply reply a letter to council and let council know your friend is a foreign resident, not an Australian resident. Don't have right to vote anyway. Ask them to cancel all penality & related expenses. However, your friend must pay up council rate. If he was late to pay the council rate, there would have interest charges.
I didn't see what the letter said, don't really understand why the council would send such letter. Because the council can get information from Electronic Vote System and got to know whether your friend was an Australian resident or not.

麻烦大家帮我看看是因为没投票的原因吗
评论
Yes, it should be related to vote.

Also, this might be happened when your friend purchased apartment without advising council that he wasn't an Australian resident.

Your friend's name (English name on the penalty bill)
Foreign address in English
(Australian postal address)
Date of letter written by your friend
Melbourne Citly Council
Their address
Dear Sir/Madam,
Re: Penalty bill Ref No. 123456
Please be advised that I was not an Australian Permanent Resident or Citizen when the Council Election was taken place. I did not have a right to vote during the Election by Australian Election Law.
Please forfeit all penalty bills and related expenses which was relating to this occasion.
Yours faithfully,

英文不是很完美，但是只要做到简单让市政府明白意思便可。
最好寄此信，影印罚款单的付本，联同信钉一起寄去。

先看看是罚的是谁。会不会是租客的名字
评论
另有一个问题，如果不是澳洲正式居民，你的朋友当年买房时，只能买新盖的，不能买二手的。
如果是买二手的，可能被发现了，罚款更多，后果更大，倒不如立刻付了市政府这张罚单，大事化小。
评论
对呀，如果是租客的名字，那可以不理。
不放心的话，可写封信去告诉市政府，此租客早已搬离，不知租客目前住处。

罚单上确实是她的名字。当时买的新房，刚盖好。

不急不急，慢慢来
