We’ve been giving Victoria such a hard time of late that we should point out that other states aren’t without their problems too.
For instance, there’s a long and quite shouty post from a NSW owner who wants to know if a strata manager who seems to be in cahoots with the developer can just keep pushing back the commitment to fix defects until the warranty period runs out.
Warning, this is a long, detailed and quite shouty post with LOTS of words in capital letters. Pour yourself a glass of wine and sink into it.
And know this, people recognise the shape of words as much as they do their constituent letters so if you write in all caps then you are reducing the immediate impact of what you write, rather than enhancing it because all the words are the same shape.
Back to strata – should our Flatchatter be concerned and can owners corps simply choose not to fix defects? That’s HERE
