      Several tenants in our apartment block (which employs a building manager) are refusing to divulge contact details (phone, email address, car regos etc)

      If EC or manager has to contact these residents urgently eg fire, do they have right to withhold contact details?  Frown

        If you're in NSW, S119 of the Strata Schemes Management Act (1996) requires Lessors or their Managing Agents to provide the Owners Corporation (O/C) with details with regard to Tenants; specifically the Tenant's name, the date that the Lease commenced, and the name / contact details for the Managing Agent

        The rationale is that in the circumstances you describe, the O/C can contact the Managing Agent, and I suspect that individual Tenants are not compelled to provide any of their personal contact details.

          Yes, the tenant has to tell the landlord/agent and the landlord/agent is required to tell the Owners Corp. But the tenant isn’t really required to tell the OC directly.
