Hope you feel better for having got that off your chest – although I think a slightly more imaginative headline than “strata managers” in a section called “Strata Managers” might have helped your case.
Are you saying all strata managers are dishonest and do nothing? This is demonstrably not true. How about the majority? No evidence of that at all. In fact, when a strata manager does break the law, this is what happens. Yes, they go to jail.
Now, we have had plenty of examples on this forum of individual strata managers who have been incompetent, lazy, obstructive and been more interested in maintaining their contracts than serving their communities.
But in the 12 years that I have been writing about strata, the industry has given itself a good shake and now has a professional grading system so that individuals can prove that they have the skills and integrity required.
Sure there are bad apples. But there are also bad strata owners. At least you can sack the strata manager if things get too awful – you are stuck with owners.
Jumping up and down an yelling abuse doesn’t get you very far in life, strata included. Presenting a reasoned argument to your fellow owners will work wonders – if you are prepared to make the effort.
