In this week’s podcast we ask leading strata lawyer David Sachs to run the rule over some of the questions in our Forum.

For instance, can the owners corporation charge Airbnb hosts the difference if insurers increase premiums because there are short-term holiday lets in the block?

Is it okay to have a paper only AGM with the committee elected by pre-meeting electronic votes?

Who pays the costs when a renovator has to get a retrospective by-law for works done without permission?

Which law – anti-discrimination or building codes – takes precedence when an owner wants a chairlift installed in a common property stairwell?

Can an ordinary owner take a strata manager to the tribunal for failure to fulfill their responsibilities?

What can an owner do if their motion for the AGM is left off the agenda when it is published?

There are answers to all those questions and more in this week’s Flat Chat Wrap.
