Hello All
This is my first post, and I would like to contribute my recent experience regarding the above. I recently approached my Strata Manager to request the contact details of two neighbouring apartment owners, in order to exercise the functions of the Owners Corporation. The Strata Manager said he would approach the two owners, and request their permission to release their details to me. Only one owner responded and I received their details.
The other owner never responded to the Strata Manager’s request. In order to notify all owners of an extraordinary meeting (which the Strata Manager was not invited to), I then again approached the Strata Manager to get the remaining owners contact details. The Strata Manager said they still wouldn’t release their details due to privacy reasons, but if I paid the Strata Manager for a Strata Roll, they could release the details. I asked why their privacy rights are wavered if money is involved, and the Strata Manager replied, ‘That’s just the way it is.’
What recourse does anyone have in this situation. Would Fair Trading NSW get involved in such a trivial matter?
FYI – the Strata Manager said they would be willing to send any notifications to the remaining apartment.
