Two strata webinars you won’t want to miss

Strata is full of people offering advice and opinions based on nothing more than something they heard from someone who might not even live in an apartment … or even in in the same state.

Does that make a difference?  Well, yes.  For instance, you can’t tow illegally parked cars in NSW and Victoria but you can in Queensland. 

Similarly, you can’t have your tenancy ended in Victoria without a valid reason – including that the landlord wants to put the rent up – but you can in other states.

So if you want to cut through the myths and misinformation around strata on Thursday, October 20, at  3.30, we have the return of Lawyer in the Hot Seat where David Bannerman, principal of Bannerman Lawyers and JimmyT from Flat Chat discuss the latest and hottest topics in strata.

Jimmy will be putting David in the hot seat and asking your questions. Topics will include:

• Mould claims,
• building defects,
• dysfunctional committees,
• the Strata Hub,
• by-law disputes and much more.

If we can we will include your questions which you can send to marketing@bannermans.com.au for possible inclusion in the webinar.

And that’s the email address to use for more information. If you prefer to just watch, you can RSVP and get a link to the webinar HERE.  But don’t leave it too late – you only have until Thursday this week.

Changing your strata manager

Meanwhile, while we’ve got your attention, you might be interested in a webinar called Changing your strata manager – Traps and Tricks and is presented by the Owners Corporation Network (OCN).

On Wednesday, October 26, from 1-2pm on Zoom, this free one-hour webinar, featuring John Hutchinson from Strata Answers, will cover all aspects of changing your strata manager, including:

• What is a reasonable fee?
• What services you should insist are included?
• Must you accept what your strata manager offers?
• Does running a tender empower your OC more than just seeking a proposal?

The webinar is free of charge, however post-event recording and documentation will only be available to OCN members. You can join OCN from just $66 (incl GST) for individual membership.
