So…. a most exciting update! (I need to get a life again, and I will once this strata stuff is sorted)…
I’m nearly at chocolate muffins stage. I followed the advice of people on this forum, toning it down, learning, taking the long view (still something of a roller coaster). And I joined the OCN network, most invaluable. From there I got a tip/ idea about a method to solve an ongoing problem in our building that has been bugging people. When tenants moved out this weekend they left a heap of rubbish and filled all our bins, then we ended up with disgusting rubbish strewn everywhere by birds and wind. So I emailed the strata manager very politely, with photos, and requested that they contact the property manager of that unit, to sort it out asap or send them the bill so clean up could be recovered from tenants bond. (I’m not anti tenant, I’m anti rubbish dumping). And it worked! The property manager got the tenants to come back and clean up their rubbish. And I said thank you to our strata manager. And for once we don’t have to clean up or pay for clean up of non resident owners tenants, which has been an ongoing issue.
I improved my relationship with our strata manager and hopefully showed the committee I can be useful.
Thank you Jimmy, and flat chatters and OCN!
It’s only the beginning, but it’s encouraging.
