For those of you who haven't read my numerous other posts, I'm the Secretary of a 27 Lot Self-Managed Plan.

Around 30% of the Units in our Plan are rented to holiday makers, and as a consequence damage to Common Property items within these Units is higher than for Owner-Occupied or even Permanently Rented Units.

I'm talking about insect screens, windows, sliding balcony doors, and locksets where many short-term occupants increase the frequency of Common Property repairs and in some cases replacements to these types of items.

Our AGM is coming up and a few Proprietors have again asked if there is anything that the O/C can do to make the Proprietors of Holiday Rental Units contribute in some way to these higher maintenance and repair costs.

In the past, I've told these Proprietors that Unit Entitlements form the basis of Levy Contributions, and that any other form of differential calculation is not possible; am I correct?

If so, is there any other means by which the Proprietors of Holiday Rental Units can be made to in some way make a contribution to the O/C's costs of attending to Common Property repairs / replacements within these Units?

Thanks in advance.
