Strata Levies Soar as the Cost of Living Rises

As the financial pressure heightens with rising interest rates and cost of living increases we’re seeing more and more people default on their levy payments.

We all know that raising and collecting strata levies for building maintenance and scheme administration is fundamental to an efficiently run strata complex.

When owners corporations allow owners to fall behind in their levy payments it leads to cash flow problems for an owners corporation which could lead to critical building works not being addressed and many other issues.

Recovering Overdue Levies

The recovery of strata levies is unique and requires a detailed understanding of the various strata laws as they apply in NSW.

So, when it does become a legal issue, recovering overdue levies is highly technical with a number of steps that must be taken before commencing legal action to recover the overdue levies from an owner.

Advanced Levy Recovery – Collecting the Uncollectable

In a recent Law case JS Mueller & Co Lawyers acted for the successful owners corporation for a levy recovery matter from an owner who had disappeared.

Did you know that in NSW a court judgment obtained against a lot owner for outstanding levies, interest and costs can be enforced in several ways? This will depend on the amount involved and what assets, if any, the owner holds.

One way of enforcing a judgment for at least $10,000 is by issuing a writ against the owner’s property.

So, what was the outcome of the levy recovery Law case? Levy Recovery and Writ of Execution
