Question: As representatives of the owners corporation, are committee members required to provide contact details to owners?
One of our committee members is a non-owner proxy nomination from a lot owner. They will not provide their email to owners. As committee members represent the owners corporation, are they required to provide contact details to owners?
As a lot owner, I’ve asked the strata manager several times for the email address. The strata manager has instructed me to py for a records search. It seems very unfair.
Answer: There is no express requirement for strata committee members or owners to provide an email address.
While frustrating, there is no express requirement for strata committee members or owners to provide an email address. Even on the strata roll for the address of services, it is optional.
Further, if you were to undertake a books and records inspection, there is no guarantee that email addresses would be recorded, as those members/owners may not have or supplied one.
