TruEConcerned asked,
- Can the agent (who routinely passes emails to the SC) and SC ignore my questions?
- Can invoices be paid without having been approved by anyone?
- Can invoices be so meaningless as to raise the possibility that the OC is being fleeced?
Unless enough owners are willing to demand better the agent can do all those things even if they aren’t aren’t authorised or legal. Everything maybe above board or it may be as dodgy as hell. My view is that this, like most issues regarding common property, is one that must be transparent to all owners.
I have experienced such issues often. The only way to properly address this issue is to get enough other owners on side. Approach them point out how much the owners are paying and how little they really know about what value they are getting for that money. Put a resolution either at the AGM or otherwise.
