      Hello, I’m on the committee for a block of 31 units, 50% rented.  The approach I found works is to consider the other owners, they will most likely have the same noise issue. Discuss and go over options and costs with them , also bring it up at Committee meeting, then call a EGM – with luck it will have other items that cant wait for a AGM.

      Having changes recorded in a EGM/AGM keeps everyone officially informed.

      Being on the Committee is key if you actually want stuff done, and familiarize yourself with the legislation/regulations- its fairly well laid out.

        Hi, all these parking issues has me thinking, is there a difference between a “non owner, non resident” parking a car on a Strata Property or Private Property .

        thanks

          Hi, we are a 1971 Strata, by laws updated in 1996, we had a look at the “no pet” by-law and decided it was too loose, ie is a working dog a pet ? What if they are taking care of some one else’s pet? Or if it is visiting with an owner ? So we decided on

          16 Keeping of animals Subject to section 157 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015, an owner or occupier of a lot must not without the approval in writing of the owners corporation keep or allow any animal on the lot or the common property.

            We had same problem , so we complained nicely then loudly and ended up with a much better SM. Took 2 months ! Bad taste.

            We checked the “bad apple” and his license had even expired, and that helped our “case”.  We asked for refund of the unlicensed time.

              Hi , this is pretty gritty stuff, but I was thinking – our block is insured under certain conditions that the residents are owners or tenants with a Tenancy Agreement. And the DA was issued as a residential block. And the Fire Compliance was carried out on that basis.

              If “airbnd” etc etc turns up, can I assume the Insurance Rates go up, the wear and tear on stair wells increases, our fire rating compliance changes – then would seem fair to put those extra costs on the “airbnb” business ?

              Ill give the insurance crowd a call sometime soon and find out.

              thanks KK
