Thank you again scotlandx. Yes, I have checked the agreement & it does provide for 3 year roll overs. However, the new term was supposed to begin at the 2013 AGM & it was never mentioned at all, although the proposed budget was passed without amendment (we abstained), which includes their fees for the coming year. As for the shortfalls in the admin fund, when I objected to the proposed budget at the 2012 AGM because it wasn’t allowing enough money ($500) & that the sinking fund would have to be raided again, the other owners stopped just short of booing & hissing. Lo & behold, it did happen & the insurance went up by nearly $4,000, which of course came out of the sinking fund. So, we just abstained at the 2013 AGM, as I said earlier. Once again the SM allowed only a few hundred dollars, with nary a comment from anyone. By the way, we are preparing for large scale document discovery, but that will take some time. To be honest, the whole strata scene appears to be a war zone & I’m personally not sure whether I want to spend my remaining years on a battleground. As far as I can see, the main intention of the Act is to NOT supervise it. The proposed reductions in red tape to benefit strata dwellers sound too much like the annual letters I get from my health insurer saying “we’ve got good news for you, your premiums are going up”. Struggler was right. He went & bought himself a small island in the form of a detached house.
