    • Author Jimmy-T

        • Author Jimmy-T

          • 25/03/2020
          • Author Jimmy-T

          How bad does a strata scheme have to be before you head off to NCAT and apply for the appointment of a statutory strata manager? Very, very bad, is the…

            Could we ever have a not-for-profit strata manager?

            • 25/02/2020
            • Author Jimmy-T

              From the Forum: is your strata manager way too laid back?

              • 27/11/2019
              • Author Jimmy-T

              There are some committees and strata managers that are just too laid back for their own – and their owners’ – good. How many warning notices do you send out…

                • 09/07/2019
                • Author Jimmy-T

                There’s an interesting statistic that I never tire of quoting: no strata manager in NSW has ever been struck off for being really bad at his or her job. And…

                    • Author

                    More than 200,000 unit owners have been slugged with compulsory ‘compliance fees’ potentially totalling millions of dollars, that critics have branded ‘gouging’. And the NSW Government Minister in charge of…
