Forum: Little leeway offered for levy debts

Debt-collector-crop.jpg

The discussion on whether or not – and when – you should push to get unpaid levels back has generated a lot of interest and it’s worth catching up with how people are viewing that HERE.

There seems to be a general consensus that, while you have sympathy for your neighbours whoo are struggling to pay, you don’t see why defaulting on levies should be the easty option.

If nothing else the discussion has also stimulated a lot of traffic on unrelated issues.

One Flatchatter is worried about a development going up next door, with the new neighbours and their builders throwing their weight around, telling lies to owners and having no respect for his block.

It not a matter of whether or not he should be worried, more how worried should he be.  That’s HERE.

  • Can the owners corp pass a by-law preventing kids from playing on their bikes and scooters on the driveway? That’s HERE.
  • If acting members are approved for a number of committee meetings, can they be counted towards the quorum on the next ones? That’s HERE.
  • My neighbour is copying what I do in my flat, like boiling his kettle when I boil mine. What can I do about it? That’s HERE.
