Reply To: Compulsory Strata Managers – the nuclear option

Thanks for your suggestions. I called one of the agents that was suggested.

I didn’t know that the agent needs to inform three months in advance. Will need to look into that thank you.

One of the owners was wrongfully disputing the details of the repair work that was carried out. The agent sent an email with their intention to terminate a day later. They also mentioned that their recommendations were not adhered to.

I found the fact sheet which indicates what to include in my application. Are there any examples online that might help me ensure I provide the right details?  Iym not sure if I need to include emails or if I should include any individual comments that had been made to illustrate their lack of understanding of their responsibilities.

– I was told I should pay half of the cost to replace my garage roof in order to get the votes needed to approve.

– one owner said he will give another owner his vote because he looks after the yard which meant my vote no longer counted

– I was told I already reached my ‘cap’ in repairs and I also made a profit.

– One of the owners had lied for years about her pergola that was added to her villa. She said the owners corporation decided to look after it as she had a da approval. I later found a letter in one of the old books that said otherwise. For years strata was maintaining the pergola.

– one owner said he can’t afford to put in more than 60 dollars extra into levies raised. The other two members vote with him as sympathy for his financial position. They are very reluctant to fix issues.

– two of the owners decided they wanted their roofs fixed / replaced after I mentioned my problem. Then they said they can’t afford to have all our roofs fixed. One of the same owners tenants confirmed to me there were no leaks. I was told I was absurd for listening to a tenant and should listen to the owner.

– they sought to stop my planned repairs after the quote was approved.

Do I include this sort of thing and if so do I need proof through emails etc.

Thanks
