    I understand your frustration but we have a strict “no names no packdrill” policy here for a variety of reasons, not least that I would eventually lose my apartment defending the number of lawsuits I'd get.

    Apart from that, in many cases it's a bad manager working for an OK firm and it's unfair to tar the whole company with the same brush. If it's a large firm, talk to their managing director and tell them you want a new SM.

    In extreme cases you can, however, report them to the Institute of Strata Titles Management CLICK HERE  who do take action against their members when they are acting unprofessionally.  If your strata manager isn't in ISTM, that's a very good reason to get rid of them.

    If they aren't doing their job, they may be in breach of their contract. See if you can get a look at that. In fact, I'd be lining up a new strata manager to help you to get rid of the old one.  Make a couple of calls and don't get bogged down in the details of why you want this one gone. 

    I don't know how much help Fair Trading will be with someone who is just ineffective rather than professionally incompetent. ICAC won't touch a case this small and the Tax office is not the place to take a complaint like this.

    By the way, there are other websites that allow people to post anything they like – but not this one.  We try to be a bit more responsible. Sorry.
