NSW Q: At a committee meeting, I proposed a motion concerning a topic under discussion for the committee to adopt. The topic had been included in the meeting agenda. The strata manager ruled the proposed motion ‘out of order’. Is this correct?

Leanne Habib, Premium Strata

QLD Q: Our resident manager lobbied lot owners and committee members to not vote for my nomination as a Committee Member, as I was a ‘troublemaker’. Is this appropriate behaviour in a QLD Body Corporate?

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.
