Hi Flatchatters,

Our Apartment block has 12 units and each unit is entitled to one storage room each.

As per the registered strata plan, the area of the storeroom for Unit 4, 3 and 7 is 25 Sq. ft. each and all other storerooms are 40 sq. ft. each.

Recently, it was identified owners were not occupying the storage room in accordance with registered strata plan and their entitlement but we were following the incorrect door numbers assigned to the Storage room.

Last week at the AGM it was decided that a draftsman be engaged to prepare a revised plan of basement level showing the correct physical location of storerooms so that new correct numbers can be installed on storeroom doors and any storeroom located on the common property can be identified. However, there is a disagreement amongst few owners regarding the allocation of the storage room and location of the common property.

I took the initiative to assess the storage rooms against the registered strata plan. This is to ascertain that decisions to be made in this regard are in accordance with the registered strata plan and I am not disadvantaged.

We have identified there is an extra storage room that is not in the plan. I measured the area of this particular storage room that is 26.21 Sq. ft. I believe this is the common property, however, according to the Strata Manager, this storage room would be assigned to Unit 11 and I disagree with his assessment because it is not the right size nor marked in the registered strata plan. 

I believe one of the storage room is being currently used to store gardening equipment.

What are my options? What action can I take to ascertain I am assigned the correct storage room as per my unit entitlement and in accordance with registered strata plan?

I can send the plan but do not know how to attach the document here.

Thanks.
