Reply To: Strata Manager appointment

Kaindub thanks for the reply.

The same committee has never been transparent in what it looks for in an agent or how it comes to a decision, suffice to say earlier agents were promoted by one committee member. That said, each time, the OC was asked to vote on a new agent, some 3 names were offered to owners to choose from, with the committee strongly supporting one in particular. The support offered no details as to why one is better than the others.

I refer to a small strata (6 units and at least 1 has never shown interest in voting on anything) where little is needed other than an agent sending out levy notes and paying bills.

I hear you about a committee being able to make decisions rather than all the owners. But I argue that the committee is incapable of acting in good faith on this issue amongst others and hence they breach s. 260. Offering one name in isolation may not be evidence of a lack of good faith. But I say that good faith is absent given the committee’s conduct in the past:  I took the committee to a mediation session  (on behalf of the OC) previously about their absence of good faith when they refused to make available a history of communications with a contractor (for a problem that is 4 years old and still unresolved). They still have refused to make those emails available to me.

Can I as an owner object to the motion being a breach of the committee’s so called “good faith” requirement (s. 260). Are there other sections of the SSMA that I can point to showing the committee failed the owners?

Any thoughts?

Thank you.
