Can your strata manager tell you anyone who has ever got into trouble over this? Cite an NCAT ruling or a strata manager being suspended (ha ha, only joking) because they broke this law?
Maybe the strata manager is right and you have found one of the few SMs who stick rigidly to the rules. Lucky you! But I’d want to see it in writing before I shackled myself in that way.
It’s not like you’re trying to swindle anyone and remember, the SM is supposed to do what the owners want, not the other way round.
Or am I the only one who thinks that well-intentioned and totally transparent creative accounting is all that’s required here?
Maybe we should ask the Property Services Commissioner. Oops! He’s gone. Or the Fair Trading Minister. Nope, She gone too. Quick, while no one’s looking!
