NAT: Self Managed Strata – How it works… and how it doesn’t 

Chris Irons,
Strata Solve

QLD Q: Am I allowed to put in fly screens to stop bugs entering my unit? I also have a black greasy substance entering my unit through my balcony doors and my windows. This seems to be coming from the exhaust fans of the many restaurants that are only metres away from my unit.

William Marquand, Tower Body Corporate

WA Q: I am in a 2 lot scheme in WA built in 1972. The other owner refuses to carry out maintenance. They ignore my emails and registered letters. The building requires Repairs. Am I best to take the matter to SAT for a ruling or is there another solution I can try?

VIC Q: I cannot access my side courtyard as the upstairs tenants use the space outside the gate to park their cars. I've learnt the space has been leased by their lot. This arrangement was not disclosed during my purchase of the property. What are my rights?

Rochelle Castro, RC & Co Lawyers

NSW Q: If an owner damages his garage door not once but 3 times by driving into the door, who is liable for a claim to have it replaced?

Tyrone Shandiman,
Strata Insurance Solutions

QLD: Our electronic security gate has been broken for five months. The SM has not actioned our requests for replacement. We are concerned about the risk of theft and property damage. Can owners withhold strata fees until the security gate has been replaced?
