H All,

A friend of mine has lived in a set of 12 villas which are self-managed. She has been there for 10 years. The place is run down and the sinking fund is very low. She just found out by accident that even though all lot owners pay the same quarterly levies, some should be paying more because of theiy have a larger unit entitlement. She asked to look at the Certificate of Title to verify the figures but the secretary says he can’t locate it. When she asked about the different levels of unit entitlements he told her that many years ago it was decided at an AGM that they should all pay the same levy to” make it easier” for everyone. She has not cited this notation on the minutes of the AGM.

Is this allowed? And if not, could my friend ask for a refund of the overpayment in her case? English is her second language and as such has difficulty mounting any argument on a very overbearing and patronising secretary. If the Certificate of Title is missing, could she ask the Owners Corporation to purchase a copy from the Lands Department at no direct cost to her?

Thank you

Jeff
