Strata Committee Meeting
स्ट्राटा कमिटी बैठक
Context: An apartment owner attends their first strata committee meeting and asks questions about strata levies.
Chair
Welcome to the quarterly strata meeting. I see we have some new owners. Does anyone have questions before we start?
मालिक
नमस्ते, म यो भवनमा नयाँ छु। स्ट्राटा लेभी कसरी निर्धारण हुन्छ भनेर बुझ्न चाहन्छु।
Chair
Strata levies are based on unit entitlements and cover shared costs like building insurance, maintenance of common areas, and the sinking fund for major repairs.
मालिक
सिंकिङ फण्ड भनेको के हो?
Chair
The sinking fund — now called the capital works fund — sets aside money for future major expenses like roof replacement, painting, or lift repairs.
मालिक
मेरो त्रैमासिक लेभी बाह्र सय डलर छ। त्यो सामान्य हो?
Chair
For this building with a pool and gym facilities, that's fairly typical. About sixty percent goes to administration and forty percent to the capital works fund.
मालिक
यदि लेभी तिर्न ढिला भयो भने के हुन्छ?
Chair
Late levies incur interest charges and the owners corporation can take recovery action. If you're having financial difficulties, speak to the strata manager about a payment plan.
मालिक
कुनै मसला कसरी उठाउने?
Chair
You can put a motion on the agenda for the next meeting by writing to the strata manager. All owners have voting rights on decisions affecting the building.
