Question: Does a strata management company know when a unit is for sale in a complex they manage?
Answer: During the conveyancing process, the purchaser’s solicitor/conveyancer will ask the current strata managing agent for a Strata Information Certificate.
Generally speaking, yes, because at some point during the conveyancing process, typically, the purchaser’s solicitor/conveyancer will ask the current strata managing agent for a Strata Information Certificate under Section 184 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW). This document discloses statutorily required information (relating to the sale of the lot and the subject strata scheme) with the consent of the current owner of the lot.
Further, on settlement, a Section 22 certificate is provided to the strata managing agent to advise of sale and the incoming purchaser’s right to vote and the date upon which that interest arose.

There is a danger in residential where a resident is using toxic fumes to conduct his business. He has been engaged in this business since 2020. Lately since Novemebr 20N21, he has been using spray paints which have
entered the ventilation system. Strata reuses to tell residents the complete truth. Can I put up a general article on the dangers of paints to health in the apartment lift. Can they sue me?

I would disagree. I believe you can. In the same way that you can allow rainbow flags to fly. We live in a democracy. It will be discriminatory (political activity) for the owners to disallow this. (As long as the sign is not discriminatory, then proceed!). I would nevertheless advise that you inform the Committee of your intention and a time for its removal.
Hi LVC
We have received the following reply back from Leanne Habib:
There is a CTTT case where owners were ordered to remove an Australian Flag and flagpole under the “in keeping with the appearance of the building” by-law breach. On the basis of your argument, this decision would be discriminatory. The new model by-laws (which are said to reflect changing community standards) have retained this standard by-law. A strata scheme should be entitled to preserve the uniformity of the appearance of its building.
