I live in a 15 unit apartment block on the water in the eastern suburbs.

All progress and improvements have been vetoed over the past 20 years by a tenant (who has the smallest entitlement) who has gathered proxies by bad mouthing other tenants to investors and elderly frail tenants.

I very much wanted to be elected on the EC at our recent AGM, as we have a few new owners and I felt it maybe be possible to move forward in a civilised manner, as the building is in need of upgrading.

Before tenants were asked to nominate, the chair accepted 5 proxy nominations, 3 from investors who have never been to a meeting (nor will)

and 2 from very elderly and ill tenants who do not leave their apartments.

Of course all of these votes are held by the above mentioned tenant and all of which are now on the EC.

Sadly I did not get a placement, but I strongly feel that something could be done about giving someone the majority vote. Surely the EC should be a group of people discussing the progress in a fair manner for all.

Is there anything that can be done about EC members who never come to meetings? Basically, its yet again the decision of one person .
