July 2014 (Volume 9, Issue 07) |
 Attached please find the July edition of Paddock Press, filled with interesting and timely articles.
In this edition I look at the effect of the forthcoming reduction in the “official” interest rate that applies to arrears, and particularly what schemes need to do to justify charging higher interest rates.
Anton looks at situations in which a scheme’s management and conduct rules conflict - yes, it happens,
Clint examines the situation where a scheme amends its financial year-end, and the particularly at the entries necessary to accommodate levy “overs and unders”,
Jennifer, in Thinking Inside the Box, unpacks the process trustees should follow before approving owners changes to common property
Carryn bravely tackles the vexed issue of pets in sectional title schemes, and
We share a few Paddocks Club Q&As dealing with levy arrears and disputes.
Keep well (and warm)

Kind regards,
Graham
