Hi Flat Chatters. Would welcome any advice about fees for convening general meetings (ie EGMs, not AGMs).
A lot of owners in our building are submitting requests to undertake minor renovations. Per our by-laws, these are approved via an ordinary resolution at a general meeting. Our Strata Committee has simply convened general meetings as needed in response to these requests, with any meeting fees covered by the OC. We’ve had about 3 general meetings in the last 6 months.
I’ve heard that other Strata Committees are advising owners to either:
1) wait for a general meeting to be scheduled in future (whenever that might be – could be several months), to have their renovation request approved (or not)
OR
2) pay the fee for convening a general meeting earlier (to have their renovation approved). AND, the meeting fee seems to vary widely – anything from a few hundred dollars to several thousands.
I haven’t been able to find anything in the Strata Act or any by-laws within individual Strata Plans to guide this. Any advice?
