Strata Chat with Joey

Today I talk about burrying the hatchet. Being the bigger person. Making the decision to act in a selfless way.

When was the last time your fire doors were inspected? Do you have any fire doors at your scheme? Every year fire doors on the common property and the door to your unit needs to be inspected. Fire doors save lives and rather than whinge about the inconvenience of having to hold a door open for ten minutes one morning, just get it done. Trust me, your life is worth the inconvenience.

Keep your common property safe. Keys safes are being raided by thieves and it might be time to consider alternative ways of keeping keys to the common property safe #strata #bodycorporate

Just because the scheme is created and levies are in the kitty does not mean the developer can have other owners pay for the gardener to tend to his unsold lots on the body corporate’s dime.

Today I am thinking out aloud on how I plan to manage a scheme where the committee are inclined to change the scope of work half way through a project and it leads to projects not being completed.

An overview of the takeaway messages and issues to consider to avoid the bait pricing issue at your scheme.

Today is the follow up to an much earlier segment where I talked about my concerns in owners voting to accept a painting quote which was some 10k under the two other painting quotes for the scheme. It was not a great job. I do not expect this contractor will honour their warranty.

Unfortunately we don’t always hold every possible document you might want to see that is relevant to your scheme. We can and do try to obtain them or you can do searches. Sometimes documents are thrown out before they make it to us.

Don’t despair, you can still nominate from the floor of the AGM to take a position in the committee.

An owner called me to complain that they had missed an inspection of their property and when we went over the details on the roll was very annoyed that we didn’t call him to find out his mobile number.......I didn’t have his number on the records so how could I call him?
