      Ill try and make this as brief as possible,

      Any advice appreciated

      i reside in a block of 6 units i have had one for 20 years my grandmother 1 for fourty.

      we have never had a problem until 2 years ago.

      a woman bought into the block as we were doing ongoing repairs, since then she has hindered and stopped every tradesman coming onsite until a company repairing stairs and resurfacing the driveway were unjustly sacked. leaving the entrance to three units dirty and unsafe.

      unfortunately when she arrived she recommended a new strata manager who we accepted and he only answers her calls or repairs her unit.

      by christmas last year the disruption had put a year behind in resurfacing the driveway and left the bottom 3 units with dangerous access causing both units to be vacated by their tenants, to the joy of the new owner and causing one owner to sell up.

      the agent sugested i give up my vote to make things easier and when i didnt, he recorded a decision of hiring a design firm with no costing or plans as unanimous (it was never discussed).

      a dangerous gas leak which had been reported several times was still not fixed by the managing agent, when 2 days before christmas a plumber started fixing the leak because four of the owners were sick of inaction and called a plumber. the response was an application to cttt to stop all work, can you believe they made a decision immediately and the day before christmas it was on the noticeboard which lasted until february when without mediation or consulting the majority full management was given to the inept and corrupt strata manager.

      Almost another year later the entrances to the three lower units are still in disrepair causing the bottom unit to be flooded with mud in heavy rain, the insurance claim from the agent renting the unit was disregarded, the driveway was finished by dodgy handymen and god knows what the agent is doing with our money. sewerage problems have been paid for by myself the gas leak was repaired by another owner and nothing gets done unless one particular owner asks for it for example two thousand dollars for an engineer we never needed (another engineer had already done the inspection for three hundred dollars)  and fifteen hundred dollars to an architect friend of hers that was never agreed to or needed.

      The majority lost its appeal to have voting rights and now she is applying for an extension of two years and us to pay her legal bill.

      although it is quite obvious the cttt is a kangaroo court with complete disregard to common sense or peoples rights I still dont understand how we lost the reasons given are all untrue we have documents to prove it.
