In one of my units, the requirements were: ? Operating noise levels of the unit/system must not interfere with or disrupt adjoining neighbours and must be positioned such that the noise level at the bedroom window of another unit does not exceed 45 dB, and may after installation/commissioning...

It could just be jumpering issue if the unit hasn't got a phone line previously or been inactive over 6-18 months? If it's TPG, they usually send a letter/email to the tenant claiming there is no fault on their end and the problem is on the resident's end. Read further down, there's a small...

I would take out marketing & sign board fee. Statement fee seems high too. Most are just around $3?

That's pretty standard. I would not pay for advertising though. Check the re-letting fee too. The exclusive period is usually 30,60 or 90 days, depending on the authority you are going to sign. It is negotiable. You can switch anytime after that. When you say North, is it Epping area?

They would consider if it the solar is for the general use of the building (common electricity for lightings, lifts, etc). The benefits need to go to all lot owners, not just individual lot.

Definitely not the tenant who will be paying.... Get a second opinion if you think it is high.....Jim's antenna in Brighton is ok...i've used them before

You can choose to go to the meeting or not..if you object it or didn't vote for it, they couldn't get it passed through anyway as it requires a "unanimous" resolution. Either way, they can't change it without your vote! They could go to VCAT and try to get it through, then you can seek legal...

I would suspect because it is a new Owners Corporation, it will not have any funds collected from the Admin levies yet ($0 balance or near to nothing)...however, the Owners Corporation needs an insurance now....to pay for it, you need to raise special levy (due in 28 days or something) to have...

It does looks like a Body Corporate matter to fix....worth trying

If you have building insurance, worth checking if it is covered?

A little different than car insurance claims! :)

Yeah, it is fine and it is normal practise to send the levy notice together with minutes anyway? However, the decision can be challenged provided u can get 25% of owners to object it if not mistaken. Otherwise, it will be final decision.

Obviously time to change a better PM.

You can try www.sha.com.au They do Owners Corporation as well. Not sure if they'll take the size of your O/C but worth asking. Very good in what they are doing. :) Look for Mark or Hedley.

As long as there's no exclusive management & leasing authority signed....no problem...in Victoria....
