Please Note: For the very first time, our next newsletter will be sent to you NOT ON WEDNESDAY, but on THURSDAY morning. We've been sending Wednesday newsletters since the very beginning of LookUpStrata back in 2013. Due to a shift in our weekly schedule and exciting changes coming in 2022 we've decided to now send National Newsletters on Monday and Thursday mornings.
After listening to recently received audience feedback, you may notice we're doing our best to include more information (and from more states) in these National Newsletters. We hope you've enjoyed the changes so far. Keep watching this space for more improvements instigated by you, our audience.
A few of our subscribers have had trouble consistently receiving our emails. To make sure this doesn't happen to you, just click the link below to add us as a 'Safe Sender' to your email address. This will reduce the chance of our emails landing in your junk folder:

Tips When Choosing a New Owners Corporation Manager
QLD Q: What can the newly appointed committee (strata) do after finding out the previous committee have used BC funds to improve only their lot? e.g. erect & paint a fence.
VIC Q: Is our new Owners Corporation Manager required to place a sign at the front of our Victorian strata property stating their name and contact details?
NSW Q: One townhouse in our complex has a tree growing within their lot that is causing issues with Common Property. Is it the unit owner or the Strata’s responsibility to prune the offending tree?
ACT Q: Our Unit Plan recently introduced a Code of Conduct as an alternative to the default rules and modified other parts of the default rules to include special provisions. Are these alternate rules legal and enforceable?
NSW Q: If an issue in common property leads to flooding in the unit and damage to the unit, is the owners corporation responsible to repair or reimburse the costs incurred to fix the damage?
