Are you in NSW?
I don’t know what you mean by Schedule 2 model rules. Is this about by-law breaches? I remember jimmy interviewing Bannermans lawyers about a costs by-law for by-law breaches. It is invalid. You can’t charge an owner for breaching a by-law unless you take the matter to NCAT.
I think your question is different because the strata manager intends to charge the owners corporation, not the person who breached the by-law.
I can only speak about NSW and refer to the Strata Schemes management Act 2015.
Before a general meeting, you should have received a notice of a meeting with the meeting agenda. The meeting agenda should list all the motions which will be voted. There should be a motion stating that the Owners Corporation will pay this $187 per hour.
A meeting notice and agenda should be delivered at least seven days in advance of the meeting. You should have at least seven days to consider this decision before voting on it.
Can you get a copy of your strata manager’s agreement? This should document every charge and what service they provide. Don’t take ‘no’ for an answer. As owner, you are entitled to see what is in that agreement. It’s quite an eye opener.
