    This is one of the many problems with Strata life. The Strata have owners corporation has a duty to enforce the bylaws but unless someone volunteers to pursue the case it is generally left up to the complainers.

    The Strata Executive Committee could vote to support the owners who wish to proceed to conciliation to give them moral support but if the Strata EC asks the SM Strata Manager to initiate conciliation they will charge the Strata Owners Corp a fortune (at least $5,000 I was quoted many years ago because it’s time consuming getting everything right).

    Also the lot owners affected will have far more interest in presenting a case than a SM Strata Manager who is only in it for the money and so is less likely to succeed and the cost should be less than $200 if they DIY.
