    … the strata owes council 2 years of water related bill from years before. I just became an owner early this year. Should I pay this bill?

    This is really between you and the previous owner (and whoever did the search on the strata minutes before you bought).  In reality, I think you’ve missed your chance.

    The level of non-compliance and incompetetence in your block is incredible.  I would be raising a complaint with Fair Trading about the strata manager and would seriously consider taking action at NCAT to have the other members kicked off the committee under Section 238 of the Act.

    Or you could just say to the committee members and the strata managers that these are your options and do they want to do this the easy way or the hard way?

    I would also consider contacting our sponsors Strata Answers and asking them to come in, give the committee and the strata managers  the facts of life (for a fee) and then try to move on from there.
