Hello, I lived in our unit for 6 years. I now rent it out. I am still active on the owners corporation. Recently it became apparent that I am now being deliberately left out of owners corporation emails, by corporation members that live in the building. These emails that I am left out of are around use of common areas and maintenance of the building, and involve financial decisions.
I do not have a good relationship with one particular owner/occupier. In short this is why I ended up moving out. The situation had become unbearable. He is deliberately leaving me out of correspondence and saying I don’t need to be included as I ‘don’t live there’.
My question is can owner/occupiers deliberately leave out owners corporation members, turned investors, just because they no longer live there? We do have a strata manager, and he conciously re adds me to email trails, which I appreciate. What can I do?

If so, then you shouldn’t be left out of communications and the easiest way to resolve that is to put a motion on the agenda of the next meeting that all committee members must be copied in on all committee communications.
If you aren’t on the committee it’s a bit tougher – non-members don’t normally see all the communications except by request – but you could do exactly the same thing.
Put a motion to the committee asking to be included in communications and then your nemesis will have to publicly justify why you should be excluded.
Even then, as a general principle, every owner is entitled to see every scrap of strata communications, if they so desire – although in many cases, that is done after the matter.
