“Overlt” – yes, duplexes have real problems. Interestingly, duplexes or two unit schemes comprise the majority in NSW.  I agree with you that they should not allow any more to be built. 

As you are aware, in two unit schemes, each owner is automatically an EC member.

In my case, the other owner has more UE’s than mine and outvoted all my repair motions in general meetings. 

I am also unable to get agreement on By-law “Notices to Comply” in EC meetings because the other owner and his tenants are the culprits. 

To get common property repairs done in my strata scheme I have had to go to the CTTT and ask for a compulsory manager on three occasions in 13 years.  I was successful on each occasion. 

However, does not make for harmonious relationships with the other owner and it has taken a toll on my health.
