Sectional Title Responsibility

Is it normal for a sectional title building to have back to back costs? in the last 5 years the building has replaced 2 lifts then they replaced the asbestos roofs which took 2 years to do and now they are repainting the building well they are asking for the money first to repaint the building so ever year they have these big costs. Is this normal?

The building looks fine so couldn't they take a year break from these expensive costs?

Special levies shouldn’t be used for maintenance but then be prepared for your levy to increase - your trustees should be able to provide you with a maintenance plan or at least what was done and when and then you can gauge if excessive or not. If you’re going to complain then you should be prepared to give your own time and get elected as a trustee…

In the AGM is it voted on the painting of the building? As the building still looks good and as far as I am concerned it doesn't need to be painted it still looks good it looks like it was painted last year that's how good it looks. Can it be voted on?

Are you being asked to contribute to a special levy specifically for the entire painting project, contribute an extra portion towards the project (due to a budget shortfall) or is it simply maintenance covered by your levy?
