I was an owner in a strata property many years ago. I also rented out my property
At the time I was the chairman and treasurer.
A tenant got the proxy of his landlord and got sufficient support to roll me and to lead the strata committee.
I have to say that this tenant did an excellent job in leading the strata (we were self managed then).
I was bummed at the time, but on reflection I had gone stale and the committee needed a new direction.
Its sometimes more beneficial to have someone who will take an interest in the property, rather than whether they are an owner.
BTW I am chairman of two strata where I am not an owner. I consider thst because of my experience and the time I have available, I make a significant contribution to these strata.
