VIC Q: How are 99yr lease terms of common property fairly calculated to reflect the benefit of exclusive use to private lot owners? How do they work in relation to lot entitlement?
WA Q: We have a no pet policy. A lot owner has purchased a service dog without seeking permission. Are we at rick of legal action if we refuse to accept the dog?
NSW Q: Do the strata committee get a copy of the AGM agenda first, or do all owners get the agenda at the same time? If the committee get it first, does it put others at a disadvantage?
NSW Q: A lot owner has carried out works on his balcony and installed air conditioning without approval. What steps should the OC take to protect themselves?
