I understand this (s 178) to mean that your Roll should have the details of the Agency which the Lot owner tenants their property through and not necessarily the actual Tenant’s details. The Agency is often a Real Estate Agency or the Public Housing Authority etc. If the Owners corp needs to contact the tenant then they should do this via the Agency.
The information required under s 258 for a tenancy notice is:
(4) The notice must be in writing and specify:
(a) the name of the tenant and an address for service of the tenant, and
(b) the date of commencement or assignment of the lease or sublease, as the case requires, and
(c) the name of any agent acting for the owner in respect of the lease or sublease.
The OC, under s 178, should have the information to contact the tenant directly.
The ‘agent’ referred to in in s 178(4) is a s 155 agent.
155 Owner may appoint agent if not able to deal with notices
(1) An owner of a lot in a strata scheme may appoint an agent to receive notices and other documents under this Act if the owner is unable to deal with those notices because of intellectual impairment or physical impairment, illiteracy or an inability to read or write English sufficiently well or absence from the lot….
If the OC needed to, say, issue a NTC then it would need to serve it on the tenant. The OC should have this information as per s 258 (4(a)).
