I looked at our strata’s records this week, as I’ve posted elsewhere; not a fun experience.
I saw and noted there appear to be two ‘hack-and-glass’, ‘glazing’ jobs paid for by the Owners Corporation that seem to coincide time-wise with dog / cat doors being installed in ground floor balcony doors to adjoining Strata Committee members units.
What’s the best way to check if something inappropriate has occurred? Ask the Strata Manager directly and ask for confidentiality? Ask our treasurer exactly what the job was and ask for confidentiality? Ask the question in front of everyone at upcoming AGM? Then what do we do?
It’s entirely possible the members concerned have done this in a brazenly dishonest way; kinda guys!
What’ll we do?

Well, for a start, they have altered common property without a by-law assigning future repair and maintenance to the lot owners.
I wouldn’t be seeking confidentiality. I’d be telling them they need to fix this, apply for retrospective permission and pay the bills or you will be standing up at the next AGM and giving the other owners chapter and verse about how strata law has been breached and they have been ripped off.
Give them the chance to put things right first – if they refuse, release the hounds!
