    No, this is not legal.  The contract has to be agreed at a general meeting.  This has not happened.

    So tell the strata manager that the contract is not valid and if they persist you will raise the issue with Strata Community Australia and Fair Trading as well as pursuing it at NCAT.  If they don’t want to lose their licence as well as their reputation, they should behave.

    And tell the former chair to back off too, or risk being sued for any costs the owners corp accrues in rectifying their illegal moves.
