NSW Q: What percentage is needed to pass an exclusive use of common property in NSW? If there are 4 owners and 3 owners were in favour (75%) and one against (25%) does the request pass?
QLD Q: We have access fobs and keys to our apartments. The Building Manager refuses to share the access code if someone misplaces their fob. Can the Building Manager restrict resident access to the building in this way?
WA Q: A tenant has had an unregistered car with no plates parked in the carpark. We have contacted the lot owner but the car remains. How do we have the vehicle removed?
NSW Q: At our AGM, our Strata Manager declared there will not be a committee and stated he has full delegated authority. Doesn't the Act clearly outline the process of the election of a strata committee?
QLD: Does a Body Corporate have to go to tender to assign a caretaking contract or can we just get two quotes? Is there a legal requirement to go to tender?
NSW Q: I had to replace my hot water system as it caused a leak in the unit below. Now the strata manager wants a copy of my invoice so she can put it through insurance. It's my business how much we have paid for a new system. Why do they need the invoice?
NSW Q: In our basement there are a total of 12 adaptable unit car parking spaces. Some open onto traffic areas and do not display the correct signage. Should these parking spaces be removed, as they are dangerous?
QLD Q: The Power of Attorney clause in our contract for the purchase of our apartment states that, for the first year, the developer can exercise our voting rights. We are concerned about the extent of these rights, eg, can they resolve to not appoint an auditor?
