QLD Q: Our BC voted no to a top up of the caretaker's agreement. Our committee seems determined to overturn the vote. This has created a toxic environment. How do we get back on track?
VIC Q: I have built a townhouse in Victoria. I understand our strata managers manage the common areas. Do they carry out any other duties? Does the OC manager’s insurance policy cover my building and other residential property in the scheme?
WA Q: Our strata management company charges a consultancy fee to prepare and email a notice of breach of bylaws to owners of a lot when their tenants are in breach. Is this reasonable? Wouldn’t sending out notices be part of their role as strata manager?
QLD Q: An engineer's report has confirmed we need to carry out major works to remediate footings in at least two of our six lots. What is the committee's next step?
QLD Q: To preserve wildlife, our body corporate has a Council covenant for no cats and dogs. Is it lawful to request evidence of an assistance dog when applying for approval? Can we restrict where approved assistance dogs can go on common property?
