QLD Q: In our development a lot intended for the caretaker included provisions to make improvements to the exclusive use area without seeking approval. However, the lot was sold to an owner. Can the provisions now be removed?
WA Q: In our 3 lot strata, the other two owners have been reimbursing themselves for work done on their lot by paying reduced strata fees. There is no approval for the expenses and the owners have not submitted receipts. Is this allowed?
QLD Q: Who is responsible for the cost of repairs of sliding doors on the outside walls of a unit leading to a ground floor exclusive use private garden? They cause ingress of water to the main bedroom every time it rains.
NSW Q: Our AGM was held about 5 months ago. I did not attend. A motion was passed for a special levy. I recently requested a copy of the minutes and have been advised that the Strata Manager has not produced them. Are their timeframes for the distribution of AGM minutes?
