I can’t imagine our SC actually allowing an owner’s siblings to attend one of our meetings. We have a great committee and co-operative owners. We recently encountered this issue in my building – mother owns, daughter (early 20s) is the tenant and attended our AGM with her and commented on every single matter without being asked. She was extremely rude and when asked to leave when we were commencing the SC meeting following the AGM, simply refused. I was very unhappy about the situation and, as chairman, after a while I wrote to the owner and explained that her daughter couldn’t attend our formal meetings and mouth off at everyone. I also explained that our financial details were only for the owners’ information. I also sent her a copy of the text of Strata Schemes Management Act 2015, Schedule 1 Meeting procedures of owners corporation, 21 Tenants at meetings.
Another problem is that neither have lived in strata before and had no idea there were “rules”, so there is an ongoing explanation for everything. I would never condone anyone but owners attending an AGM or being voted onto the SC.
