So, I am one of three Exec members in a block on 15 units - its an "L" shaped block with 6 units in one stairwell and 9 in the other stairwell, i'm the only Exec member in the 9 stairwell. Anyway, I don't see the other two members often but I am kind of aware that they communicate regularly...

Last week I put forward a request for aircon in our unit - I've provided the Body Corporate (BC consists of myself and two others) with plans and full quote including details of installation. I have heard nothing! In the past, other members respond to emails within 24 hours and I am getting...

As my title states, I am wondering how much concern landlords have in regards to difficult tenants? By difficult I mean those that cause damage, annoy other residents with parties / noise and generally ignore by-laws? (I'm specifically talking about strata unit blocks. Over the last 9 years...

I'm just wondering if reverse cycle aircon is considered a good selling point in a unit? I'm just about to get some quotes, expect to pay about $1400 for the aircon unit and about $500 for installation - does that sound right? We don't really want aircon but need it as we have terrible...

I'm really not sure what to do here so hoping for some feedback. We currently have a $280K mortgage on a $500K unit on the northern beaches in Sydney - its a great unit, fully reno'd with a view of Long Reef Headland, faces east and is quite large at 100sq. After owning this property for...

I'm just wondering if landlords care about other residents when it comes to difficult tenants? I'm in a block of 9 units and two years ago a man and his girlfriend moved in - they are absolutely repulsive people. He shouts obsenities to people passing by the block, walks around common areas...

Just wondering how best to value your property for sale? I've just had a local agent give me a price quote for my unit (he valued at $495-$500K) - with my own research, buying HPG's, looking at other similar properties and constantly looking on RE.comau - my figure comes more in at...

I have a question for landlords, particularly those who own in a medium size strata complex (NSW). Would you want to remove a tenant that is a nuisance to other residents in a block? By nuisance I mean loud music / clapping hands and deliberately setting out to intimidate and cause conflict...

I'm sure this has been done before but what is the best process for selling current PPOR and buying a new PPOR (upgrading)? I'm currently in a unit which is fully renovated and ready to sell, we presume it will sell quite fast as others similar to ours go within a month. So, is it best to...

Am I able to go directly to the owner of a unit (strata nsw) to make a complaint about a problem tenant? Just want to be sure I am not over stepping the mark with regards to privacy. I have contacted the PM and they won't do anything because the issues happen on Common Property. Just about...

Can an Executive Committee member act on behalf of other Committee members without communicating this issue with the other EC members. Does the issue need to be reviewed by all members to be actioned? Hope that makes sense ! :confused:

I wrote on here mid last year about a large gum and numerous other trees that had been poisoned by another EC member's husband. All trees have since been removed and now half the block looks into brick walls of the neighbouring units - nice! He's continuing to do his "gardening" if thats...

[B]4. Damage to lawns, etc on common property - An owner or occupier must not damage any lawn, garden, tree, shrub, plant or flower on the common property. You must not use any part of common property as your own garden. I'm an owner occupier, and on the EC for a block of 15 units, there are...

I was wondering how long can a tenant can park an unregistered car on Common Property for? We have four car spaces for 15 units (general parking for residents, not visitor parking). The car has been on the road for 6 weeks unmoved but Friday the tenant moved it to on of the spots on common...

I’m just hoping to get a little bit of feedback as to if this is a good or bad idea. My partner and I have a 2 bedroom unit in Dee Why, we fully renovated it 2 years ago and have 40% equity on the property. Thing is, after being there 6 years we are after a bit of a change. We want to keep...

Just hoping for some advise please. My partner and I are owner occupiers of a unit in a block of 15, we have lived in the unit for 6 years and are on the Executive Committee. The block is pretty good, well managed and very quiet, however, 4 months ago we had a new tenant move in who is...

Just hoping for some advise on what to do.. I have a top floor unit on the northern beaches of Sydney, about 300m to the beach with a lovely outlook to long reef headland. Thing is, a council nature strip tree is growing at a rapid rate and we anticipate we will lose our outlook in the next...

Just hoping someone might be able to give us an idea as to what to do with this situation. We have been in our unit as owner occupiers for 6 years and for all that time I have been on the Executive Committee. We are in a block on 15 with three Executive Committee members. Thing is, I am...
