I would like opinions on the following posted by our strata manager in the minutes of a recent Council of Owners meeting. We are in WA.
“*strata manager representative* spoke to the Council of Owners members and advised that *the owners of a Lot which is us* had made several appointments to attend the *strata manager* office and inspect the Strata Company books and records. These inspections are for time periods between 2 and 5 hours each time*strata manager* believes that these requests are now becoming unreasonable and they will have to look at charging for the collation of the records for viewing and time spent. *strata manager* will provide costs to the incoming Council of Owners members for consideration and approval prior to the inspections”.
The facts are that we have asked to see the historical records twice. The first time was for two hours, and upon discovering the complete disarray and lack of filing or order in 6 archive boxes, we asked to return for a visit of five hours to allow a more thorough search for information.
Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated.

If you are just left with a box of records in a corner at the managing agent’s office, I can’t see that they have incurred much in the way of costs. I would write to the council/committee explaining that you did nothing that would cause the manager to have grounds for charging you and see what happens.
