      I am trying to help friends of mine how are experiencing problems getting other lot owners to vote on important issues.

      Adjourned meetings cost the owners that do care about their investment.   Managers don’t seem to mind as they receive additional fees for the adjourned meeting.

      In one case, the building is badly in need of repair and one person cant do it all.   The other 11 owners don’t vote, don’t come to meetings and so the issues remain.  Cry

      In the other,  only 3 or 4 owners (out of 73) turn up to the AGM and only a handful send votes.  One owner told me that his building pays an onsite Manager to take care of “business” and that he does not have time. 

      I was speaking to a search agent recently who told me that this is the “norm”

      What will be the trigger to make people care ?  Obviously they all have far too much money.Surprised

      Would a discount of say 5% on your levies for each person that either attends or votes be sufficient ?  Has any one tried this ?Confused

    PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
