Further to my rant below. The reason these owners forged the signature of the other owners (that I only found out by accident when our new strata manager asked me if the solicitor’s bill was OK to pay – this was after our previous strata manager ‘sacked’ us due to the level of nonsense that went on in our plan) was to have exclusive use by-laws be drawn up giving them all of the large grassy back yard, the side yars, the rear patio, the common laundry & in exchange for this, give the other owners the small grassed area in front of their unit & these other units would have to install laundry ‘facilities’ inside their units at their own cost.
When the solicitor advised that they would need more than the 75% special resolution due to the complexity of their exclusive use plans (my 2 garages actually open out to the rear patio & the back yard via side doors) they were forced to admit that they did not have 100% support for their plans & then billed the OC. They almost got away with it too! The solicitors acted in good faith I suppose but their instructions from this owner was to ONLY liaise with him BUT bill the managing agent.
My horror stories are long & varied & probably boring to others.
