      The Chairman of our scheme sold his unit to his son, and I found out by Title Search that the transfer of title occurred on 12 September 2024.

      Our AGM was held on 3 September 2024 (3 weeks earlier than every other year). The Chairman has been in this position since 2022 and nominated himself again in June 2024, and was voted in at the AGM, against another owner, with 34 votes to 4. Then 9 days later he was no longer the owner of the unit. He is listed as “owner” on the AGM Agenda / voting form, as well as in the AGM Minutes, confirming his election as Chair which Minutes were dated 11 September 2024.

      Only his son is on the title since 12 September 2024. I am aware that a spouse, child over 18, and parent can act on a strata committee on behalf of the lot owner, however my question is, do owners need to be informed of this?

      In this case, the Chair does not live here anymore and for now, neither does his son. The unit is empty.

      The Chair did not chair the 3 September 2024 AGM, which he always has before. Our strata manager did instead. Every article of correspondence from the committee has come from the Treasurer, who appears to be acting as the Chair. But nothing has been said. There has been no VOC to nominate anyone or change anything.

      So basically, it seems that the Chair is remaining as an “inactive” Chair, and has been allowed to do so by his son, the new owner of the lot, with no mention of this to owners. Does the Chair need a POA from his son? Does the committee need to say anything at all???

      Thank you!
