Schedule B charges can be a legitimate way of compensating your strata manager for the work they do – or they can be a way of milking maximum funds from their clients.
My thinking on this is that A Schedule B charge should reflect work that needed to be done (if only at the OC or SC’s request). Offering incentives to strata managers for Schedule B charges must therefore be encouraging them to do work that’s unnecessary. OK, that’s possibly an oversimplification, but you get the idea. Your strata manager’s income should not depend on you getting work done that you don’t want or need.
Schedule B charges make sense, especially if the base charge is lower than average. Commissions for Schedule B charges are encouraging and rewarding dishonesty.
