What can owners do when the vote is tied on a critical issue like an asbestos report in a small strata scheme?
Our 100-year-old self-managed strata has four units. Two owners suspect bonded asbestos might be present. Despite the information provided, the other two owners refuse an inspection, citing the lack of legal requirements. What can we do when the vote is tied on such a critical issue?
This is a really important item that can’t be ignored.
I agree with your concerns. I think this is a really important item that can’t be ignored.
If you have put the motion to the meeting and it is voted down, I suggest applying against the owners corporation to NSW Fair Trading to try and resolve this issue. It is really important that you are aware of your safety obligations and have a suitable management plan in place for your strata.
