      Hi, 

      1) Ensure there is a mutual get out of contract pharagraph agreed to by the       owners cooperation and the managing agent.

      2) What experience do they have in handling after hours emergency situations which may arise with your strata scheme.

      3) Only give control to the managing agent, that you want them to have. Don’t assume they will do it all on there own, after all is your strata scheme. 

      Kind regards,

          Hi, 

          Put it on the meeting agenda for discussion ask all unit lot holders to bring what ever evidence or communication they way of had with the offending unit holder. 

          You will have to move a motion to fine them for breach of the bylaws for excessive noise in the common area of the complex. Check department of fair trading in your state.

          Kind Regards

            Hi, 

            Common property parking area to the exclusive use of owner or tenants can only be approved my the strata committee. 

            In some circumstance they may decide to charge a rental on the common area space to them. 

            You could have them fined for illegal parking, if there is no documentation for  the exclusive use.  As it disadvantages other visitors to the complex. 

            Kind Regards.

              Hi Sty,

              A motion has to carried for approved expenditure for the lawyer fees by the majority of stake holders of the strata scheme. 

              If a lawyer has been appointed by the strata managing agent without the written approval of the strata scheme they will have to pay for the expense. 

              No one unit lot owner can act alone on strata issues.  

              I suggest you send notice to unit lot holders of the strata scheme directly of the current situation seeking a meeting to resolve the issues with your property agent & unit no.1.   

              King Regards.

                Hi, 

                What ever your body cooperation agree on, with regards to the common area of the property.  No, unit lot owner can act alone & do anything on the common property or  change the external appearance by adding screens without the consent of the other owners of the strata scheme.  

                 

                Yours Sincerely,

                  Hi, 

                  Just a though, authorise your strata manager to search the LPI in nsw which may uncover the last recorded people of interest in the property. 

                  If council rates have not been paid for some period of time  they could enforce a court order to sell the property after all effects have been exhausted to find the owner.  

                   Kind regards

                    Hi 

                    If the tenants has performed unlawful act against you or the strata scheme then I would would suggest you take the correct action depending on the offence committed as my previous comment was out of context. 

                    Thank you for correction Jimmy

                      Hi, 

                      Circumstances surrounding the police action has anything to do with the strata scheme ?

                      If what occured in anyway breached your strata bylaws then your strata committee would be able to act on that otherwise non of your business.

                      Regardless of police action or tenants circumstances. 

                      Welcome to the world of strata, these things and more will happen !

                      The tenants have the same civil rights as you, even though they where  charged with an offence.  Nothing on the standard lease could disadvantage them. 

                      If the tenant performs an unlawful act againts you or the strata scheme there is not much you can do. 

                      kind regards.

                          Hi, 

                          If an lot owner has water damage as direct result of the leaking cutter. They must advise the OC of the urgent repair to avoid further damage to the strata property. 

                          They maybe able to claim on there common area insurance, but more likely this would be considered a maintenance issue. The amount for repair should come out of the long term sinking plan of the strata scheme.  Or arrange a special levy for it.

                            Hi, 

                             Provided there is evidence the over hanging tree branch damaged the vehicles on the common area of the property.

                            Take images of the tree, branch damage and include a  statement claim along with quote for repair damage .

                            Those vehicles which are insured leave that issue with them  but provide them with information about the event

                            Those that are not, I would suggest the seek legal advise & submit a civil calm to the neighbour. 

                            It is important to act on these matter asap. 

                            Good Luck

                              Hi, 

                              I would seek approval, in the event of someone tripping on it you would be responsible.

                               If the OC approve and the event occurs the focus is shifted from you personally & onto the building strata scheme.

                              It is in the common area of the building. 

                              Bye

                                Hi, 

                                Would not worry about his possible complaint about your furry pet friends.

                                 Depends on the nature of complaint the other party claims to have in regards to your  pet friends. He would  have to submit it formally to the OC for discussion.

                                As long as you have written consent from the OC of the strata complex. 

                                The issue with unit owner and there tenants is there problem. Don’t get involved.

                                Unless  you witness action which breaches the common area bylaw of your strata scheme.

                                Kind Regards.

                                  Hi, 

                                  Do you have evidence of dishonest strata committee conduct ?

                                  Arrange meeting of all strata community members to discuss the issue. 

                                  Dishonest people will not care about the act. 

                                  The strata community members in joint will decide the course of action to take. 

                                  Kind Regards,
