We are caretakers for a body corporate in SEQ. We have outgrown our current on site premises and wish to move into a bigger dwelling close by. It is a condition of our contract that the caretaker must live on site. How do we go about removing this from clause our agreement?
Our Caretaker submitted and won a motion at an AGM to have their agreement changed regarding office hours. They were required to keep the office open 8:30 am - 5:00 pm Monday to Friday. This was changed to "they must be available on-site between the hours of 8:30 am - 5:00 pm".
As a caretaker of a strata building in Queensland, I applied for a 5 yr extension of the Caretaking and Letting Agreements as shown in my purchase contract. At the AGM, the motion was not passed.
The body corporate had written to all the lot owners asking the lot owners to say no to the motion because they want to change the caretaking and lettings.
Can the body corporate act against me in this way to refuse an extension? What is my position in this matter?
The developer of our scheme sold the 25 year caretaking and letting agreements to a building manager. We were originally under the Accommodation Module. After three years, the building manager sold the management and letting rights. We then changed to the Standard Module.
The new manager thinks he can sell a 10 year agreement. Can he only sell the remainder of the term under the original caretaking agreement? Is he able to offer a 10 year agreement? Notwithstanding the change of module, does the original agreement term remain in force together with any approved extensions?
We have a 170 lot student-only accommodation building. The caretaker has an occupational authority (OA) over the common property security gated car park.
They manage the car park via a lottery system. Provided tenants can support their "student" status as specified in the Development Application (DA), they apply for a parking space each semester.
The caretaker also has a letting agency that handles the letting of approximately 80% of units to students. The remainder are either self-managed or managed by external agents.
