Hi,
This may be part of two stories – any advice what recourse I have would be great. The EC made a decision to trim trees on border of property due to leaf waste landing on neighbours roof and them complaining of damage. As part of this they wished to share the cost of new fencce as the old was beinig held up by ivy, which was also agreed to. Next, an email came asking for an extra $500 on top of quote for trimming of trees and removal of ivy as needed a crane to access. This was agreed to, however, inside the body of the email was the word ” removal of a pepper tree ” which most of us missed when agreeing as quote said, and we had agreed to, trimming……now we have a feature of the properties facing this fenceline completely destroyed as 3 fully grown tress were cut down and mulched. No apology or explanation from Strata Manager or treasurer who tried to defend action. 1st question can this be done? 2nd question what can we do about this ? and as we have lost faith in the strata agents ability to carry out our agreed actions is that grounds to find a new manager ?
2nd story : DA arrived this week to develop property at same fenceline ( the old house has no guttering and no work on it for years waiting for development but recently very concerned re: tree waste on roof and crumbly old fence ), it appears the same real estate agency is involved with the DA. The tree report states ” 3 trees recently removed” so will not obviously be a part of protecting or restoring if the DA is successful. Should I smell a rat ? any suggestions how we can protect the owner’s interests in this situation …help ! Thanks
