      Two apartments in our block are meant to be studios, but have installed internal staircases down to the ground floor (apparently during the renovation of the building with the builders knowledge) and have “exclusive use” of the common areas (used to be shared laundries but now an extra large bedroom each) and out onto the garden, giving them an internal space bigger than even the 1 bedroom units in the building. Yet they pay the same strata fees as the studios. One of the units is rented out and the owner can get more rent than the 1 bedroom units in the block. It doesn’t seem fair that they can make money out of common areas which we all own and yet pay the lowest strata fees in the building. Is there some way for the unit entitlement to be reviewed to take into consideration the increased area they have, are they able to pay a “voluntary levy” for use of this space, or can they buy the common area space off the building so it is theirs once and for all? Kind Regards, Studio owner
