We manage a property (as rental agents) where the owner wants to replace the kitchen. We did the right thing and advised the strata agent who said we needed a special resolution by-law – because it would affect common property wall tiles – which would have to be written by a solicitor.

I did ring the department of Fair Trading as I thought a by-law was totally unfair to our owner – she is elderly and does not need to pay for a by-law that everyone else can then use.

The department of Fair Trading advised that a by-law is not applicable. I would appreciate your thoughts on below as the kitchen installer we want to use for the new kitchen advised you are an expert he listens to everyday!

Not sure we are hitting a brick wall unnecessarily. The building is around 60 years old and so is the kitchen!

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
