This week, I chat with James Mahony about the Urbanise platform – what it is, who it’s for, and why it’s set to revolutionise your experience of strata living.

This week, Reena and I discuss the reasons why email correspondence must form part of the books and records of the Owners Corporation and the potential risks to strata managers if it is left out of a strata search or handover of files. I explain why I disagree with NSW Fair Trading on by-laws controlling short term lets, and an insurer comes to the table after a mudslide.

This week, Reena and I discuss ‘best practice’ for strata managers dealing with insurance commissions, particularly in light of the new disclosure requirements in the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015. Reena shares her Tribunal win, and I provide an update on the perplexing question of penalty orders under the new legislation.

This week, I cover all things tech in strata with the ever-knowledgable Daniel Borin of StrataMax. Listen out for Daniel’s priceless recommendation on how to solve the wifi reliability issues in your strata lot.

This week, Reena introduces us to the building that cannot be insured. We celebrate the launch of Reena’s website, and a win for a member of the YSP online community, who was able to resolve their strata plan confusion by referring to the original surveyor.
