What to do if you are unhappy with your strata manager

Section 15 – Strata Managers of the Landgate publication A Guide to Strata Titles sets out the process to take if you are not satisfied with the services of your strata manager.

As strata management is not a regulated industry in WA at present, your avenues for complain vary depending on individual circumstances. However, if your strata manager is a member of Strata Community Association (WA) or the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia (REIWA), complaints may be pursued through these channels.
