Every so often on Flat Chat, our readers get a bit nit-picky and we don’t get so many big sexy issues like ”my neighbour’s dog ate my cat” or ”can the guy upstairs park an army tank in his space?” (Answer: if he has an army tank he can pretty much do what he wants.)
Instead we get into the minutiae of strata law, its loopholes and quirks. But who am I kidding – all you strata bush lawyers out there love this stuff – as do I! Enjoy.
- Can you have an Extraordinary General Meeting on paper only without anyone being there to vote. That’s here.
- Do short-term lets breach the law requiring owners corps to be notified every time a new tenant moves in? You didn’t know there was such a law? Hey, there’s even a maximum $550 fine! That’s here.
- Should the owners proposing motions be identified in the agenda? Is it name and shame … or show and tell? That’s here.
- What’s the time limit for registering a by-law -and is it illegal not to do it? That’s here.
