    ilovebbg – while some people do have problems with Fair Trading and the CTTT, it's still worth giving a complaint through the proper channels a try. I'd think very carefully before going to one of the tabloid TV programs, since you may get more than you bargained for by involving that sort of so-called journalism.

    You can be assured that your old strata manager is not the only one.

    Here's another idea: Is your old strata manager a member of either the professional association Strata Community Australia (formerly ISTM)? That organisation has a code of ethics which it may be able to enforce.

    The Real Estate Institute also has a strata division, but experience with the strata manager (and REI member) we sacked earlier this year tells me you may not get a sympathetic hearing… doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

    We have plenty of first home owners and people of non-English speaking backgrounds in our unit complex… probably part of why our former strata manager chose to ignore most owners… but it shouldn't make any difference. However it IS hard to change and all you can do is persist with trying to sort it out. In the long run it's worth it.
