How a building manager who said "they have to make money somehow" — about my stalkers and extortionist— is now causing my homelessness

Jess Is Going to Lose Her Home This Month.

Not because she didn't pay rent when she lost her business. Not because she violated her tenancy, she was a favoured tenant for six years, until building management enabled a crime that otherwise would not have taken place, a crime that directly caused the destruction of her business.

The bottom line is this: the same building management company that allowed an Outlaw Motorcycle Club crew to occupy her residential floor for six months as part of a standover and extortion campaign designed to force her nightclub business out of the industry, and now the company standing between her and a roof over her head.

Jess paid rent long after Police failure and building management's criminal complicity destroyed her income overnight despite the failures of those meant to protect her. If not for their actions, her business would still be running today.

When every formal channel failed, she was forced to announce a public safety pause. She had lived at this building for approximately six years as a favoured tenant. She considered some staff friends. None of that mattered when it counted.

Given clear evidence of loss of quiet enjoyment, breach of duty of care, and most damning a discovered prior relationship between her building manager and the OMCG squatters, Jess demanded a fair rental refund and compensation. Building management denied the debt entirely. 

Then, on the same day they received her formal breach notice and a second warning Jess would escalate to the courts, they raced to the Magistrates Court to file a hard eviction without telling her until weeks later. While she waited for a response to months of unresolved breaches, and having issued a clear warning that she would escalate to the courts if they failed to act, they had already gone to court first attempting to frame her as a tenant in arrears failing to mention their shortcomings and ignoring her final request to address the outstanding issues and breaches.

The reality: after Jess refused a soft lease-break offer, pointed out evidence suppression discrepancies, and asserted her legal rights, management added a fraudulent $1,000 debt to her ledger to justify a hard eviction. First came the soft removal attempt. When that failed, it escalated. Rather than respond to her legal queries or the outstanding breach matters, they used this fabricated debt to issue a hard eviction Notice to Vacate completely ignoring her assertion of legal rights and her reasonable request for a refund and damages. Jess stopped paying rent in November 2024 after the fraudulent debt appeared and after demanding the outstanding breaches and issues be addressed.

The ledger is now in dispute before the courts as two separate matters.

Management claims Jess owes months of rent and that they owe her nothing. The documentation proves otherwise. 

The causation of business loss is documented. Victoria Police and building management are directly at fault. Building Management owe Jess over six figures in damages and loss of quiet enjoyment, an amount that far outweighs anything they claim she owes. Their next eviction attempt after the last was thrown out is this month, timed deliberately before her case against them is heard. They are hoping the Magistrate treats this as a simple arrears matter and moves to evict without addressing their failures, their breaches, or the debt they owe.

Jess is going public because she has no choice left. Every formal channel has been tried. Some have opened reviews. Most have not helped. And while those processes run their course, she faces homelessness in real time this month through no fault of her own, as a direct consequence of what happened inside her building and who allowed it to happen.

She has been left severely traumatised. Instead of being able to rebuild and recover, she is being forced into a full-time legal battle to fight for her most basic rights as a tenant and for the last fragment of stability she has left. Building management is, in effect, starving her out blocking any ability to move forward and rebuild. Worst, their conduct combined with Victoria Police failures is causing ongoing retraumatisation. 

This is a documented account. Everything stated here is on record, on tape, or before a court or investigative body. This is not speculation. This is a report of what Jess lived through and what the evidence proves.

What Happened in Her Building

From approximately August 2024, members of Australia's most notorious OMCG stalked Jess, then from November 2024 occupied the apartment directly across the hall from hers in her Malvern East high-rise. They stayed for six months. They had no legal lease. They were never authorised tenants.

During those six months:

  • A signal jammer was deployed as an instrument of intimidation on her floor
  • Firearms were present and openly displayed
  • Jess received direct death threats
  • She was stalked every time she attempted to leave the building after their removal on 31 March 2025
  • She stopped leaving. She barricaded her door. She wore personal alarms on her body on the rare occasions she did go out
  • Third parties independently verified a severe security breach and filed their own police report
  • Victoria Police were recorded on security camera acknowledging the occupants' criminal history and that residents felt unsafe
  • The occupants told Jess directly they wanted her business. They taunted her, stated they had been sent to harass her, and during a death threat interaction demanded she say a competitor's name — making unmistakably clear who had sent them. If that wasn't already clear, the extortionist himself ultimately confirmed he was responsible. The residential siege was a direct extension of an explicit extortion campaign launched after Jess refused repeated low-ball offers to buy her brand throughout the siege. When she refused to hand it over, he followed through on his threat: a coordinated reputation attack across every online channel. Jess reported the extortion demand and the threat to Police in real time. They ignored it. The consequences followed exactly as threatened.

6 months of 24/7 OMCG occupation on her residential floor. 50+ resident and visitor witnesses documenting the collapse of building safety. 0 legal right of the occupants to be there; no lease, fraudulent identities.

Even after the occupants were removed following pressure from the Owners Corporation, building management continued to turn a blind eye to the relentless stalking and harassment Jess faced every time she attempted to leave the building. In one lobby incident, the building manager shut down a Police report made by Jess and failed to hand over the CCTV footage Jess requested. Management not only obstructed any Police investigation but again did nothing to protect a tenant actively prioritising the OMCG's interests over her safety. Combined with Victoria Police's ongoing failure to activate any protective measures, Jess no longer leaves home. She has lost the quality of life she had built. She barricades herself inside her own apartment. She is, in effect, a hostage in her own home. This public disclosure and her civil proceedings represent her only path to restored safety, her only route out of an ongoing and terrifying situation, and her only viable fight to secure the refund and compensation the law demands so she can move forward safely and start fresh somewhere new.

Through all of it, building management and Victoria Police did nothing. Their ongoing and present day failure is proving to be more traumatising than the siege itself, those meant to protect her actively worked against her. Not because they didn't know. Because the evidence shows they chose not to act.

The Recorded Admission That Changes Everything

Jess has in her possession a recorded confession from former building manager Daliah Gurpinar of Dalem Property Group / Dalmeera Property. Jess directly identified the individuals on her floor as OMCG members who had taken over her residential floor. She stated she was in fear of her life. She said she thought they were going to kill her.

The response:

"It's over now." And "They have to make money somehow."

— Daliah Gurpinar, Building Manager, Dalem Property Group / Dalmeera Property. Recorded.

Not "I will escalate this immediately." Not "I will call the police."

This was not a passive management failure. This was a documented statement of complicity.

The Jackson Street Nexus — Coordinated, Not Coincidental

Evidence has emerged that building management had a prior personal or professional relationship with the landlord of 60 Jackson Street, St Kilda, the property where identified OMCG members including Moey Alameddine and Jock Nielsen were living immediately before and during the early months of their occupation of Jess's floor. Daliah Gurpinar lived directly next door to them and shared a documented connection with their landlord.

These men did not find the building through a rental listing. They moved from a property connected to Jess's building manager's personal network directly onto her residential floor  without a legal lease, using fraudulent identities  and were permitted to remain for six months while building management claimed to know nothing, produced no CCTV footage, shut down Jess's security threat reports, and actively obstructed Police investigations that existed to protect her.

The CCTV management claimed to have given to police? Police deny receiving it. The footage management promised to preserve for Jess if she pursued justice? It was not handed over when she requested it. Staff were recorded acknowledging they recognised the individuals on site, while the building manager actively downplayed the ongoing stalking.

These are not clerical errors. This is a documented pattern of evidence suppression. The later discovery of the building manager's prior connection to the occupants explains why she was consistently protecting their interests, not Jess's, and not the interests of other tenants who became victims of property damage and theft as a direct result of the takeover. Other women fled the building in fear. Building safety and security collapsed entirely.

Documented Evidence Suppression

  • New building manager Raj Kakarla gave at least three contradictory recorded explanations — in a single conversation — for refusing to release CCTV footage, despite both he and Daliah having previously stated during handover that the footage had been preserved. His responses were clearly deceptive: "I haven't seen it" / "I didn't see you in it" / "I don't know what you're talking about" / "I only have the footage given to me" — and still he refused to hand it over
  • Management freely provided CCTV access to other residents proving that denial to Jess, despite earlier promises, was selective and targeted, not policy
  • Management claimed footage was given to police, police deny receiving it
  • Origin Energy filed their own police report after verifying a critical infrastructure security breach at the premises, building management failed to acknowledge or respond for months, despite being fully aware of the ongoing safety situation Jess faced. This incident occurring in January 2026 proves their failures are not historical but current and ongoing despite their claims to have secured the building
  • 31 March 2025: Firearms were produced by approximately eight occupants in the building lobby. A male victim suffered a significant head injury by pistol whip. The Owners Corporation confirmed detectives were on site. Witnesses were left scared and traumatised. This incident ultimately generated enough pressure from the Owners Corporation to force building management to remove the occupants

The Parties Responsible

Daliah Gurpinar — Former de facto Managing Director, Dalem Property Group / Dalmeera Property. Removed from ASIC as director in 2022 but continued operating as the public face of management. Fled the building manager role in November 2025, notably after Jess identified discrepancies in her CCTV evidence account. Subsequently sold her residential property and has ignored all legal notices to date. Whereabouts now unknown. Subject of a $100,000+ civil claim and significant further liability.

Jim Gurpinar — Managing Director and Founder, Dalem Property Group. Never present at the building. The company he founded and leads is the entity whose management failures are documented here.

Rahul Rastogi — Director, Dalem Property Group / Dalmeera Property.

Raj Kakarla — Managing Director, Malvern One Pty Ltd. Purchased the management contract from Dalem in October 2025, taking over from November 2025. Prior to Daliah's departure, Jess ensured both she and Raj were fully briefed via formal written communication on all outstanding issues, breaches, and the complete documented background so current issues were known and ignorance could not be feigned, including the CCTV evidence. Both stated during handover that the footage had been preserved and would be provided. Once Daliah's soft break-lease attempt failed to remove Jess quietly - Jess declined the offer due to an unreasonable turnaround time, Raj took over and initiated a hard retaliatory eviction, filed at the Magistrates Court on the same day he received Jess's formal 40-page breach notice reiterating every outstanding matter he was already fully across and a document outlining the entire situation he had previously been briefed on - to ensure it was formally documented. That eviction was dismissed on 12 January 2026 as legally invalid. A fraudulent $1,000 debt carried over from the previous management; a debt that never actually existed was used to manufacture the justification for the hard eviction, despite Jess's account being fully current, her legal rights having been clearly asserted, and her requests for CCTV footage and breach responses still outstanding. Rather than correct the fraudulent debt or address the outstanding issues, management chose to pursue removal showing they were acting in bad-faith.

The retaliatory eviction attempt is itself a documented breach. Under Victorian law, when an eviction notice follows a formal complaint within a short window, the court presumes retaliatory motive. The fabricated debt deployed after a failed soft break-lease offer combined with the decision to file a hard eviction on the same day as Jess's formal breach notice while ignoring her outstanding queries and legal rights is the strongest possible evidence of exactly that.

Why Jess Is Facing Homelessness Right Now

The six-month residential siege facilitated by building management destroyed her business. NSFW Events Australia was a six-figure events company that had become one of Melbourne's most successful lifestyle events brands within its first few months. Jess operated from home. When her home became a crime scene that building management and Victoria Police refused to secure, she could not operate.

The public safety pause she was forced to announce in April 2025 is documented. The revenue projections for 2025, confirmed bookings, confirmed venues are documented. The causal link between management's breach of duty of care, Victoria Police's failure, and her business closure is documented. What Jess hoped would be a short pause was made permanent by the compounding failures of Victoria Police and building management.

That destruction was then compounded by the coordinated criminal smear campaign the extortionist launched after Jess refused to hand over her business. His final threat had been explicit: surrender the brand or face a reputation attack across every online channel. Jess reported the threat and the extortion demand to Police in real time. They ignored it. He followed through exactly as threatened and the previously removed occupants made a point of waiting outside the building front door that final day she refused, this was despite their removal from the building.

In February 2026, four Alfred Health medical experts diagnosed Jess with acute retraumatisation with Complex PTSD as a direct result of what she endured.

Jess is currently a prisoner in her own home. She still barricades her door. She still cannot leave freely because no institution has restored her safety, and this situation is beyond what any individual should be expected to manage alone. She has no income because her business was destroyed and it remains unsafe to operate. This month; March 2026 the compounding effect of management's fraudulent debt, ongoing legal costs, and total loss of business income means she faces losing the home she has fought to hold through more than fourteen months of terror.

Prior to all of this, Jess was a favoured tenant of approximately six years. Her goal is to secure compensation from those responsible and rebuild so she can safely relocate. Building management would rather see a victim of crime on the streets than acknowledge their role in what happened inside their building. They continue to ignore every reasonable request to address the outstanding issues.

The Statutory Breaches — On the Record

Residential Tenancies Act 1997 & Crimes Act — Documented Breaches:

  • Section 67 — Interference with quiet enjoyment: six months of OMCG occupation and harassment Jess endured
  • Section 68 — Failure to maintain safe premises
  • Section 323 — Giving notice to vacate when prohibited due to personal violence
  • Section 91ZZI — Retaliatory conduct: eviction notice filed same day as formal breach notice
  • Section 91P — Improper termination attempt: Notice to Vacate found legally invalid at Magistrates Court
  • Section 37, Crimes Act — Witness intimidation
  • Section 29 — Failure to provide and abide by agreement terms

Why This Is Public — And Why It Matters to Everyone

Jess offered building management every opportunity to resolve this privately. She never wanted the tenancy component of this matter in the public arena. What she received in return was a retaliatory eviction attempt, contradictory accounts about CCTV footage, silence when a third party flagged a critical safety breach, and a fraudulent debt carried into the new management handover.

Daliah Gurpinar has since fled the role, sold her property, and is no longer findable. Jim Gurpinar and Rahul Rastogi were never present. Raj Kakarla claims he purchased liabilities he doesn't recognise but he was fully briefed during handover by both Daliah and Jess. He cannot accept the rent without the liabilities nor can he claim ignorance. Meanwhile, Jess faces the street.

This is not a story that only affects her. This is a story about what happens when building managers facilitate criminal occupation of residential buildings and face no consequences. It is a story about what happens when Victoria Police respond to organised crime reports with mental health referrals despite evidence of a crime. It is a story about what happens when a victim documents everything, pursues every formal channel, and still faces homelessness because the process does not move at the speed that real lives are destroyed.

Every person who rents in Victoria has a right to know that the systems designed to protect them can be compromised. Every property professional has a right to know what unchecked management misconduct looks like at its most serious. Every member of the public has a reason to care because the next building this happens in could be theirs. This didn't just affect Jess, residents ensured break-ins and thefts constantly during the building takeover, they too were afraid and lived in fear. Some residents fleed the building when it became clear Building Management didn't take resident safety seriously. 

Silence protects perpetrators. Not victims. Not neighbours. Not the community.

Jess went public on the broader criminal conspiracy despite death threats, despite being labelled paranoid by the same police who are on tape acknowledging the criminal history of the occupants, demonstrating they were well aware of the safety risks present. Alfred Health's February 2026 diagnosis of CPTSD with acute retraumatisation proves every word of what she said was true. Her evidence files prove the rest.

This is not a tenancy dispute. This is an OMCG-connected residential siege, facilitated by building management and ignored by Victoria Police, that destroyed a business, devastated a person's health, and is now causing homelessness. The public needs to know because right now, this month, the process is not moving fast enough to keep her housed.
