Our strata manager makes decisions on small repairs, but bigger repairs are referred to the chair and treasurer for a decision. Planning for larger items is handled by the entire committee. Is this correct?
I am an elected member of my strata committee. Our strata manager makes immediate decisions on small repairs, but larger repairs are referred to the chair and treasurer for approval. Planning for larger items is handled by the entire committee. Is this correct?
I reported water damage to my ceiling and common wall late last year and further damage a few months later. When I asked whether the owners corporation would take preventative measures to prevent more serious damage, the strata manager said they were waiting on instructions from the chair. Is this usual?
The strata manager may have an expenditure limit. If the chair (acting within a duly convened meeting) is the point of contact, this may be the most appropriate approach.
The strata manager may have an expenditure limit. If the chair (acting within a duly convened meeting) is the point of contact, this may be the most appropriate approach. However, the overriding concern here is that the owners corporation is under a strict duty to repair and maintain the common property without delay.
To protect your position, take whatever steps you can to mitigate any damage that may be caused to your property.
