The problem is that technically the Strata Manager can only follow the instructions of the Owners Corporation and the Executive Committee.
This technical problem always strikes me as a good excuse for strata managers not to do their job properly.
It’s like lawyers taking instructions from their clients… Given that the strata manager or lawyer is supposed to be the professional who knows the legalities of the matter, they have a perfect cop-out – the ignorance of their client(s).
Our (now sacked) former strata manager used this sort of circular logic on our owners corporation to justify failures to act – even when issues were long-standing and and well known. It always made me question what we were actually paying for if all they had to do was follow instructions from people with little or no expertise (ie owners/EC).
