Question: I’m after strata records from a previous strata manager from over 10 years ago. How can I access these records?
I am a lot owner in NSW. Our building underwent rectification works in 2007 / 2008.
I’m after copies of the Special Levies for the rectification works. The strata manager from that time is not being very compliant with my request for access to information.
How can I obtain copies of these strata documents?
Answer: Due to the time elapsed, it is likely the records have been archived (or even possibly destroyed)
I assume from your question that the strata manager from that time is not your current strata manager. In this case, they should have transferred all records to the new strata manager. Due to the time elapsed since 2007-2008, it is likely that the records would have been archived (or even possibly destroyed). It is our understanding that strata records must be kept for at least 7 years.
