Our Caretaker doesn’t own an apartment – the Owners Corp has given him sole use of a desk in the foyer, from which he runs his short-term letting operations and, might I say, controls our building/our lives. We’re at the 16-year mark of a 20-year agreement with him.
There were two attempts at Mediation plus an application with the CTTT. It’s impossible to put a cost on the time/effort involved in all this, including 1,000-page plus submission which went to the CTTT.
The respondents – the Executive Committee/Strata Manager/Caretaker – assured the Adjudicator that the scheme was being ‘properly’ run – the EC Members hold major positions in the ‘day jobs’ so carry lots of street cred.
The CTTT dismissed all request for orders, including that of the appointment of a compulsory Strata Manager and the removal of the Caretaker.
Sadly, considering the massive amount of time/effort involved in setting out in the greatest detail our issues with the Strata Scheme, we received not a single ‘nod’ from the CTTT – in fact the Executive Committee is very proud of the fact that our submission was totally dismissed. For them it’s: ‘business as usual’.
Simply crushing.
