Queensland residents - there is an E-Petition available to amend the body corporate regulation for caretaking agreements to a maximum of 5 years.
The petition states: "Statutory obligations of caretakers is to act in the ‘best interests' of the body corporate, but caretakers are incentivised to ensure their engagement is for as long as possible in order to sell at a later date. If agreements were set for a fixed term of a more reasonable length it would reduce strife in community living, and return focus to performance."
