Our strata building of 40 lots has an embedded network for our individual metered electricity supply. The body corporate buys our electricity at a bulk rate and is to recover the cost by billing each owner/occupier for there metered consumption.
We have recently had an application for a pet in our strata block. We aren't too concerned about the dog as such, it's more to do with my environmental conditions etc the “toileting” of the pet.
Many of our balconies face the common garden lawns. We are fearful of no longer being able to open our balcony sliding doors for ventilation due to the toxic, lingering urine stenches in the vicinity area.
Each Strata Company is bound by by-laws, whether they are the standard by-laws or by-laws contained in a Management Statement or Scheme By-laws.
Schedule 2 By-law 12 (c)
We are a strata of 3 townhouses. Is it illegal for 2 committee members/owners to use our strata's common seal representing the Owners Corporation without having put the use of this to a vote?
Our council of owners has consisted of three members for about 10 years, but it's really only two people. The third person never has a say and ends up resigning, so our council runs with two out of three members until the next AGM, sometimes for 10 months of the year.
These two owners, through owning multiple units, outvote us on everything. Recently, one of the two council members sold one of his units, so we finally have the numbers in our favour.
