I saw your column in the Financial Review, i read every day, a source of informative diverse subjects !.
with reference to the Management Rights situation, you are so right !!
However it is up to the State Government to make the changes to stop Developers selling an agreement that the Owners cannot change, except within the first 3 years (limited) which no-one advises the Owners.
The only opportunity after that is when an extension is requested maybe a chance to bargain. With Standard 10 year agreements that had some chance. However NO Developer these days sells a 10 year standard (residential !) agreement regardless of occupancy. They all sell the 25 year “accommodation’ agreement, which severely limits the chance of negotiating any adjustment.
Look forward to you providing help to us in Queensland with our different laws.
