Let’s get real. We know there are official holidays, bank holidays, school holidays but add in rostered days off and sick-days and Australia has rightfully earned the title of the Land of the Long Weekend.
Here at Flat Chat, we reckon the country dozes off the day after the Melbourne Cup and doesn’t wake up again until after Australia Day. But strata never sleeps so here are the top ten forum topics and posts that you have been reading over the past month, in order of the number of page views.
- The Flatchatter whose occasional visitor brother has been denied access to residents’ facilities. That’s HERE.
- How using Artificial Intelligence to analyse a combative committee member or neighbour can get great results. That’s HERE.
- The strata manager who said “don’t go there” when the committee asked if they should (legally) pass on the additional insurance premium because one commercial lot is a tobacconist? That’s HERE.
- The strata manager and committee who agreed to keep the facts about waterproofing issues from other owners and prospective buyers. That’s HERE.
- The chair who had the last two dissenters sacked from their committee then couldn’t form a quorum to appoint the new members of their choice. That’s HERE.
- How do you deal with a bully in your complex (without turning psycho yourself). That’s HERE.
- City of Sydney bans gas cookers in new blocks – and barbecues are the next target. That’s HERE.
- The state is taking defect-dodging developers to court – but the low numbers of prosecutions seems pretty defective too. That’s HERE.
- From the Department of Shameless Self-promotion – get the huge discount for Flatchatters on JimmyT’s new crime novel Twisted River (as James Dunbar). That’s HERE.
- Is naming and shaming owners who are behind on their levies a breach of privacy? That’s HERE.
