I live as a tenant in a unit among 6 unit complex. All 5 units–except mine–have a designated carport. Can I request the strata corporation and my owner to build a carport for my unit as there is space left for one more carport in the row? What process should be followed? -Prajwal, NSW

Q: I live as a tenant in a unit among 6 unit complex. All 5 units–except mine–have a designated carport.

Can I request the strata corporation and my owner to build a carport for my unit as there is space left for one more carport in the row? What process should be followed?

 

A: It would be best to bring this matter up with the owner of the property and have them raise a motion to have an additional designated carport installed at the next general meeting.

The owner will need to raise the motion with the secretary first, preferably two weeks prior to the general meeting. During the meeting, a vote will be held, and if the vote passes, the installation can begin.
