Question: Our strata management company charges a consultancy fee to prepare and email a notice of breach of bylaws to owners of a lot when their tenants are in breach. Is this reasonable. Wouldn’t sending out notices be part of their role as strata manager?
Answer: Issuing breach notices is generally not a standard service and additional charges can be noted in the agreement.
The contract between a strata company and a strata manger varies, you need to review your strata management contract for what is included in your strata management agreement and what is additional. In relation to breach notices, they are generally not standard and additional charges can be noted in the agreement for these. Usually this cost is passed onto the breaching lot owner / tenant.
