Strata Manager Nowhere To Be Seen – Literally!

We have been unable to contact our strata manager over the last few weeks and are growing increasingly concerned.

We have had numerous periods of time like this over the last 12 months (although the company has resurfaced each time….) and service now has declined to the point where we feel this company is unable to manage our affairs.

The company is a small one (one man only) and we have decided to terminate the company and appoint a new manager.

1. We need to call an EGM to terminate this manager and appoint a new one, but we have had no responses to our requests for the strata roll. Can we call a meeting if we are unable to advise all owners? (we know ae can advise about 70% of owners).

2. How do we manage our affairs in his absence? Bills are not being paid, requests are not being actioned. A small example is that our locksmith will not issue additional security keys to the building with out the strata seal…..assume access to bank accounts is a similar thing?

2. What course of action should be taken if the manager has just 'disappeared'? How do we access our bank accounts, seals etc? Does this become a police issue?

Thanks.
