Thank you, I was wondering if I was being unreasonable, if I was out of line.
This is the second time that our strata manager has done this.
In 2015 they called an EGM about a $1000 bill. I called them, we cancelled the EGM as the EC was allowed to make a call on bills under $2000 without a meeting. The EC told the strata manager to send the bill to the building next door as it wasn’t ours. When I asked why they didn’t call before sending an agenda the answer was they didn’t have too. I should check to see if we paid for this meeting too.
This time it was about their managing agreement as they didn’t include it in our AGM. “They were too busy with the new legislation to make a phone call”. We cancelled the EGM and requested a 3 month extension. We were going to need 3 extensions to reach our new financial year. We are now having an EGM as we need $12000 of roof maintenance.
They want us to renew their contract for 3 years. Ive requested that we renew it until the next AGM only. I also asked to add to the contract that the agent cannot call an EGM without first contacting someone from the strata committee. Am I allowed to do this? or should I round up the other owners to find another manager? The other owners are reluctant to change from what they know.
