    Just to add to the argument of why you need to get your defects checks done ASAP, have a look at this story where the developer was a mate of the notorious Auburn deputy mayor and the strata manager was a mate of the developer.

    When the roof blew off in a storm, the insurer refused to pay out because the building was riddled with defects.

    I’m not referring to this story specifically, but, as I’ve said elsewhere, it’s time the government started cracking down on all the cowboys, crooks and dodgy dealers in the strata industry.  

    And by cracking down, I mean, let’s strip them of their assets under “proceeds of crime” legislation and jail the worst of them.  Until then, these grubs will never get the message that it’s not OK to rip off people who just want a roof over their heads.
