The agenda for our AGM showed a 20% increase in levies plus three amended by-laws that required a vote. The AGM was held midweek during the day. Few people could attend. I sent my proxy for items on the agenda.
When the levy notice was received, it showed an increase of 40%. We have had no communication apart from the minutes saying it was resolved and amended. This seems manipulative. Is it lawful and within the proper procedures?
In our 15 year old, 30 lot strata scheme, four units require rectification works due to building defects. We called a general meeting to approve a special levy to cover the cost of the work.
Can owners of the four units with defects vote at the general meeting, or should they abstain from the vote due to their vested interest?
My federation style strata block has four similar sized apartments, with two units downstairs and two upstairs. The strata plan was created in the mid 70s, and there are different unit entitlements for each lot. The unit entitlements do not reflect each apartment’s size.
I live in a building with 95 apartments. A specialist disability accommodation company holds 12 apartments, with two on the executive committee, and another owner with close ties to the developers holds six or seven proxies. Under the new rules, are companies reduced to five per cent and rounded down? Do both companies hold five per cent? Can two people from one company be on the executive committee?
I am a proxy for an owner in a NSW strata plan. The scheme has a strata manager.
Can an owner ask the strata manager to forward all correspondence and financial information to their proxy? If this request has been made and the information is not supplied, what recourse do we have?
A property owner in a strata corporation gave a proxy to another person to vote on their behalf at an upcoming General Meeting. Before the meeting, the property was sold, and the sale was officially recorded in the strata roll. The proxy was used to vote on all resolutions at the General Meeting, including the election of committee members. Is the proxy valid, despite the property sale occurring before the meeting?
