My strata AGM was held on Thurs, and there was a motion to renew a buliding caretaker contract for 5 years.
I did some research beforehand and found out the price in the contract is almost 3x what other similar apartments are paying.
At the meeting, only 4 owners out of the 116 showed up.
I brought up that we shouldn't sign this contract right now so we can do some due diligence, but my strata manager argued very hard that we shouldn't bother with the due diligence and just sign it, and she may have made some misrepresentations that affected the outcome of the vote.
The motion was passed to sign the contract with 2 votes to 2, plus 4 yes proxy votes that my strata manager was holding.
Since then I've spoken to 10 owners that never showed up to the meeting and they all say that they would have attended the meeting and voted with me if my research was brought to their attention.
I know this is probably a case of trying to close the door after the horse has bolted, but I just feel like we've been hoodwinked by our strata manager, and I'm trying to find any legal loophole to invalidate the motion or the contract that was signed.
