Strata management—it’s one of those areas in property where things can get tricky if you’re not in the know. In this episode, we’re joined by Michael Teys, who’s been in the trenches of strata for years, tackling some of the biggest issues that come up in this space. If you’re involved in a strata scheme—whether as an owner, investor, or part of a committee—this is a conversation you just can’t afford to miss.
Today, we dive into the real problems that strata communities face every day. From dealing with disputes that can turn neighbors into enemies to sorting out financial messes that can sink a scheme, he’s got the inside scoop on what works and what doesn’t.
We also chat about the legal side of things—what’s changing, what’s staying the same, and how it all impacts you.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. We also talk about how to keep the peace in a strata setup and why being proactive can save you a world of headaches. And as for the future? We touch on where strata management is heading and what that means for everyone involved.
