Would like advice please regarding a block of 8 flats where 6 are owned by the same person who, when financial, has majority vote. The complex needs major maintenance incl pool that leaks and is currently empty but for green slime from rain water catchment and guttering that drastically needs replacing (this repair was ok'd at last AGM 12 mths ago.)
The owner with majority vote has indicated he has 'no money' and blocks any attempt to address these issues, including setting a date for AGM which is due now. Are there any legal means to ensure maintenance of the property? If the single owners paid for urgent maintenance, is there a way of guaranteeing repayment from other owner via a "lien"?
Obviously, it is in the best interests of all parties to have their assets in good condition in order to maximize rental return but the Body Corporate manager is exasperated, apologetic and seemingly unable to force the issue. In the meantime, the complex continues to deteriorate and it is just a matter of time before good tenants leave.
Cheers
