The NSW Fair Trading have now launched a new online Mediation Portal that makes lodging an application for help with a strata dispute quicker and easier than ever.
If you are unable to resolve a strata dispute through discussion or through the owners corporation, you can apply through the portal for a mediator to help to resolve it.
The mediation service is free and resolves over 65% of all strata disputes. It is available to anyone who lives in, owns or works in the strata sector or in a community scheme.
This service can assist you with many of the most common strata disputes including:
- keeping pets
- repairs and maintenance to common property
- car parking
- using common property
In the past year, the NSW Fair Trading have received more than 1,800 applications for strata mediation services.
