How do I resolve a dispute with my strata or body corporate?

General information from Lawmateanz

Start by raising the issue in writing with the strata committee or manager, and check the by-laws.

Each state has its own process. For example, NSW disputes usually go to mediation through Fair Trading and then NCAT, while Queensland has the Commissioner for Body Corporate and Community Management.

Keep records of meetings, notices and correspondence.

A strata lawyer can advise on complex disputes.
