    Thanks again, Jimmy. I didn’t say in the first place that there was home warranty insurance but, obviously, it would have been clearer if I’d said that in the first…

      OK, so now you are saying your building is not covered by insurance and therefore not subject to the six-month limit. That’s fine (if it is, in fact the case)…

            Re: Clamping – how it can be done legally

            • Author Jimmy-T

            You can’t fine anyone anyway, so that’s not even an issue. If someone is persistently parking in a visitor’s spot, you can, for instance, very cheaply train a security camera…

              • Author struggler

                  Hi Yclept – you’re a Strata Manager right? Remember that the $10K was 6 years ago, so it may have got me a few cups of coffee per day! Seriously…

                    The area you have been given exclusive use of is YOUR now, I cannot see any advantage in adding it to the title. It cannot be transferred back to the…

                        Hi Kiwipaul, in NSW, your advice that the EC can simply sanction permanent use of common property via a majority vote doesn’t hold.  Scotlandx’s advice is correct in that a vote has to…
