Our OC asks for a deposit, albeit a lesser amount, in case of damage to lifts and walls during removals. But I've never heard of owners or renters being charged for the attendance of the building manager to inspect removals. Given that everybody in the building has to move in or out at some point, I can't see how this would be above and beyond your building manager's duties.
As a tenant, you have no role in the Owners Corporation (unless you are given a proxy vote by an owner). So I would write to your landlord and tell him you think this is onerous and unfair. All it takes is a 25 percent vote to stop the by-law in its tracks – but if nobody does anything, it will just slip through.
