22.01.2022 Strata Myth Busters are BACK! Strata Myth # 10: I can replace the carpet in my apartment with timber flooring without asking anyone.... MYTH!! Strata Owners should never install hard flooring in a multi-storey strata dwelling without first: checking the strata development's by-laws. There may be specific rules regarding hard flooring; requesting permission from the Owners Committee; and ensuring adequate acoustic underlay is installed. (Ideally, more than adequate!) If these steps aren’t followed, the Strata Owner could find themselves saddled with the expensive burden of having to remove their new floor. As challenges from the Owners Committees and Owners living beneath them who have suffered 'loss of amenity' due to noise will prevail.

10.01.2022 What do we need to tell our Insurer...(and what happens if we don't)? All insurance contracts have a duty of disclosure whereby the insured party must tell the Insurer all relevant information before entering in to the policy and also during the course of the policy period. So how much do you need to tell the Insurer?... In Australia the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (The Act) determines when and why an Insurer can deny a claim. Section 21 makes it clear that the insured only has to tell the Insurer about relevant matters, not matters which the Insurer already knows or should know ,and not matters which would reduce the risk to the Insurer. So how do you determine what is relevant to the insurer? The question arises currently in a number of matters we have seen where owners have obtained a building defects report, or more particularly a workplace health and safety report which reports on all potentially dangerous aspects of the common property. Owners may decide not to carry out all rectification immediately, or at all, so does this have to be disclosed to the Insurer? For example, you have received a report which says that there is a big hole in the pavement of the common property and that this represents a trip hazard, and the strata committee decide to do nothing about it. If an accident does occur there and the Insurer becomes aware of the report (which they will) they may well have a reasonable case to say that you failed to disclose a relevant and material fact to them. Section 54 of the Act states that where the effect of the insurance contract is that, but for this section an Insurer can refuse to pay a claim by reason of some act of the insured, the Insurer may not refuse to pay the claim by reason only of that act but the Insurer’s liability for the claim is reduced by the amount which fairly represents the extent to which the Insurer’s interest were prejudiced as a result of that act. So this means that rather than being able to reject the claim entirely because of a non-disclosure, the Insurer can generally only reject a claim to the extent that that non-disclosure prejudiced their rights.
08.01.2022 Can a scheme be able to ban pet ownership? Yes. A scheme will be able to keep its current pet by-law if they wish. However, they may wish to adopt one of the new model by-law options on pets or write their own by-law on pets. Such updates could be made as a result of the strata scheme reviewing their current by-laws by 30 November 2017, as required under the new laws.... One of the new model by-law options on pets will recognise an owner's right to seek permission to keep a pet, and maintain that this could not be refused on unreasonable grounds. If refused, the owner could appeal the decision at the Tribunal. No by-law can ban lot owners from having assistance animals, such as guide dogs or hearing dogs.
