Does a bailiff need to give notice before visiting a lot owner for levy arrears?

By Neziah,

A bailiff attended my residence on the body corporate's instructions regarding levy arrears. I did not receive any prior notification and have not been served with a court order. Does a body corporate or its collection agency have the legal authority to send a bailiff without a court order and without notifying the lot owner?

Can a separately titled strata garage be sold independently of the apartment

By Neziah,

We own a strata apartment. In addition, we bought a strata garage with a separate lot number. This is separate from the garage that came with our apartment.

We have been told by another resident that if we sell our apartment, we must also sell this garage. Is this true? Are there penalties if we decide not to sell because we can't get our asking price?
