Apologies. That’s my Apple allergy showing. This is what ‘leftover coding’ means from your previous post (and it’s in your current post too):

Topic: Who pays Vendor’s arrears debt
Content: <div dir=”ltr” data-setdir=”false”>I bought my new flat in NSW on 17 Dec 2019 and part of the settlement papers I signed included a Strata Search which clearly states No Arrears for my flat.</div>
<div dir=”ltr”></div>
<div></div>
<div dir=”ltr”>Now I’ve received my first Strata fee invoice, which shows Arrears of some $500, unpaid by my vendor.</div>
<div dir=”ltr”></div>
<div dir=”ltr”>On querying this with the Strata Manager he just rudely says I have to pay, no discussion.</div>
<div dir=”ltr”></div>
<div dir=”ltr”>My conveyancer (solicitor) said they have contacted the vendor’s s solicitor who is chasing it up with him with no response so far. She also said that although in the Settlement papers it shows No Arrears this popped up 3 days after I signed and that the SM should have indicated on the Settlement papers that there was a fee notice coming up to be paid by the vendor Obviously if I’d known this I would have delayed the purchase until they were paid.</div>
<div dir=”ltr”></div>
<div dir=”ltr”>What I’m wondering is</div>
<div dir=”ltr”></div>
<div dir=”ltr” data-setdir=”false”>are the signed Settlement papers legally binding?</div>
<div dir=”ltr”></div>
<div dir=”ltr” data-setdir=”false”>Is the SM required to try and chase the debt themselves .</div>
<div dir=”ltr” data-setdir=”false”></div>
<div dir=”ltr” data-setdir=”false”>If it should happen that the vendor won’t pay the debt (likely) who is responsible to pay the debt? The OC, me? I’ve done a lot of searching but can’t find anything to address this.</div>
<div dir=”ltr” data-setdir=”false”></div>
<div dir=”ltr” data-setdir=”false”>Thanks</div>

If any computer literate Flatchatters out there can see what’s wrong here – and maybe it’s something at this end – I’d love to know because it’s obviously not Miranda’s intention to send it in this form.
Meanwhile I recommend you type directly into the Forum or save your posts as .txt or .rtf files before copying and posting.
