Hi all,
Have just learnt that an Extraordinary General Meeting has been called to pass agreement on the raising of a Special Levy.
It appears there are some waterproofing issues in some areas of the building. What seems to be most affected are the balconies of 4 different units plus a few other water issues.
They are trying to raise nearly $100K, of which I think I will need to contribute about $4.5K.
I'm not really happy about this. I can't afford it, and it appears the issues do not affect me or my property directly.
I know this is a selfish viewpoint to take, but how selfish really? I mean, I can understand that we would all have to pay if it was a problem that affected everyone (common property etc) - but this isn't.
What options are available to me, or is this one of those things I just need to suck up and get on with? I mean, I know I can vote to not pass the levy but is this really the right thing to do.
