lynette – I am not sure what you mean by “EC Meetings by schedule”?
The tenant representative is an option that, under the Act, must be offered to the tenants, under certain circumstances. The option does not need to be actually exercised by the tenants if the tenants don’t wish to become involved in this way. It does not appear that the EC and OC can deny this option.
The Office of Fair Trading describes it this way:
“In strata schemes where at least half of the lots are tenanted, the tenants have the right to nominate a tenant representative to the strata committee.
The tenant representative is entitled to:
- receive a copy of the agenda and any minutes of meetings held
- attend and speak at strata committee meetings. However, they can be asked to leave the meeting if financial issues are to be discussed.
The tenant representative does not have a vote. They cannot make up the quorum of a meeting (that is, the minimum number of people needed for a vote to be valid).”
