NSW Q: We are a two-lot Strata. The other lot owner is overseas for 12 months. How do I write an explanation instead of holding an AGM until they return next year?
WA Q: Some of the owners on the strata council are breaching by-laws and not enforcing them. Can an owner serve a by-law breach notice to a council of owners member for not complying with a by-law?
QLD: Our by-laws include six exclusive use by-laws, all with different maintenance responsibility clauses. What is the best way to simplify and unify these by-laws? Can this tidy-up be part of a by-law review?
QLD Q: Our body corporate administration fund contributions for a year exceed actual outgoings. Is the excess refunded to the owners or carried forward?
