We are considering appointing a tenant representative to our Ex Com. Has any own experience of this? Are there things that we should be aware of? Any tips about appointing such and has anyone had a problem with this?fred22
Hi Fred22, our complex considered this issue a number of years ago. We decided against it on the basis of things may be discussed which go to the ‘ liability’ of owners that are best discussed and decided solely by owners.
It was argued that ‘if it goes to the liability of owners’ the OC should fix whatever the problem is. In practice it is not so simple. Society is becoming ever more litigious and while I am sure there are proper precautions that can be applied it is something to be aware of.
Our OC/EC realised that its position may have appeared unreasonable to some but the interests of owners and tenants don’t always align.
Anyway just something to think on.
