And we haven’t been telling our residents for years that we know best on neighborhood issues.
That was a generalisation and I was speaking figuratively. But the fact is that committees are there to represent the views of the owners corporation – that is all owners. And generally most people will accept that … until you decide something they don’t like.
I question if a strata committee alone is even legally allowed to represent all OC owners on neigbourhood issues. Is it overstepping its authority? I suspect it might be.
I really don’t think so. It’s certainly not breaking any laws or even accepted protocols. It’s up to individual committees. But our committee makes representations on everything from the flower beds outside the building to the spread of Airbnb. Are they wrong to do so?
If enough owners disagree, they can have the decision overturned.
