Agree with these sentiments. While it would be good nice for a strata corp to allow payment plans, the costs for that would need to be born by the recalcitrant levy payer.
It is not the strata manager putting up fees, but the owners corp, that you and your neighbors are part of. If a unit is not paying, the other owners will need to pay more so that the required bills can be paid. Noting this will include essential items like Insurance, electricity and water .
As UberOwner says owners should be involved with the process of monitoring and setting budgets.
Some of the ideas suggested in the Media would be unworkable – eg a suggestion that there should be a limit on how much “strata fees” can go up in a year. Thats not going to work, as there is not also a limit on how much electricity, insurance and other charges can rise.
