You need to look at the software your proposed strata manager uses on their customer portal and how it can be manipulated to produce meaningful and easy-to-find information for owners. Files must be accurately identified for this to be possible. Hello, my friend and I moved into a new home with a strata manager appointed by the original developer before the Strata plan was registered. We were one of the first residents to move in july of this year and a post committee has yet to be appointed. If anything has gone wrong in the last six months, we were the only ones with a few others to warn the strata manager. Last week, we received notification from the General Assembly the day after its night. For this reason, no one appeared and the general assembly was postponed to the end of January 2020. Yesterday, however, the Strata Manager sent my friend and I his strata Management Agency agreement for a period of 3 years and asked us to sign it. We don`t want to sign because a) we don`t want to be held responsible for anything, b) no Strata committee has been formed, so we don`t think it`s our personal responsibility and c) we and some residents are not happy with the Strata Manager. I am looking for advice if the Strata manager can ask us to sign the agreement in our personal capacity even before the appointment of a Strata committee? A subsequent appointment may only take place for a maximum period of three years. After three years, the parties must negotiate and conclude a new agreement.

The court may appoint a person appointed as a strata Managing Agent in order to realize: an NSW landowner wishes to know the procedure for renewing the management agency contract. Rod Smith, The Strata Collective gives the following answer. First of all, it`s strange to ask individual owners to sign team management agreements. It just doesn`t work (and probably wouldn`t be valid anyway). When renewing the management agency contract, should the Managing Director put on the agenda all the items that will be discussed at the General Assembly? Can they insert their fixed duration before the general meeting? If a management agent wishes to change the structure of his management costs, should he not put it on the agenda and discuss it with the owner company at the general meeting? Unfortunately, many think they have what it takes to get the job done, but few do – and unfortunately, they won`t know until after some less good decisions have been made. Or, in the worst case, Owners Corporation or strata Committee are sued because they did not do what needed to be done under the latest strata laws and/or the many compliance requirements simply because it was neglected or completely neglected. The proverb that comes to mind here is: “Ignorance of the law is not a defense.” Most of the time, for those who do all the work, the enormity of the work and the time that, with the need to deal with all the “human” problems, simply becomes too much to manage and they abandon it. If possible, ask Strata Manger offered to provide contacts from other stratas they manage. Talk not only to the president, but also to other people within the company, after carefully reading the minutes of the general meetings and the commission….
