Restricting the time owners can serve on the EC

Hi everyone

I live in a strata scheme building where the EC is lead by one of those “won’t let go” people. She refuses to even speak to anyone who challenges her, but will nevertheless accepts a free strata levy payment per year – because of all the work she does.

Everyone I know in a strata building has someone like her on their EC. 

Advice always seems to be the same – vote her off. But that’s impossible in so many situations as these people spend their lives holding on to their position, and making life very difficult for anyone who is a challenge.

Why are terms served on strata scheme ECs not limited? Putting a limit on the number of consecutive years served on an EC would assist in resolving so many disputes.

For instance, you serve on the committee for two years, after which you can’t nominate again for another two years.

What do others think?
