Over the past twenty years, I have frequently relied on the Strata Living booklet as a vital resource for understanding the rights and responsibilities of owners within a strata scheme.

This booklet has provided clear guidance on a variety of important issues, ranging from the rules that govern the shared spaces to the specific obligations of individual owners.

It has been an invaluable reference in helping me navigate the complexities of strata living, ensuring I remain informed about both legal requirements and best practices.

Whether it is clarifying my responsibilities regarding common property, understanding my voting rights in meetings, or knowing the procedures for resolving disputes with neighbours, the Strata Living booklet has consistently served as an essential tool in managing my ownership and participation in the strata scheme.

Over time, I’ve come to appreciate its straightforward explanations of the often intricate aspects of strata law, which can otherwise be difficult to interpret.

The booklet has been particularly useful in instances where issues with maintenance, by-law enforcement, or repairs have arisen, offering a clear framework for addressing such matters in a fair and transparent manner.

In addition, it has helped me understand the broader context of communal living and how to contribute to the maintenance and harmony of the shared environment within the strata scheme.

Through the years, the Strata Living booklet has not only assisted me in resolving specific issues, but also empowered me to be a more proactive and informed member of the strata community. With its comprehensive coverage and user-friendly language, it continues to be an indispensable resource for anyone involved in strata living.
