"Incompetence of a owners corporation manager."

I was complaining about the gardener to the owners corporation manager from MBCM Ferntree Gully / Dandenong for one year.
He did not respond in any way in a prompt manner.
The gardener blew all the leaves and mulch into the main storm water drain in the shared driveway.
The gardener sprayed toxic weed killer which went through our air vents making us and our pets very sick this was ongoing for a year even after continuous complaints which were ignored.
The gardener caused major damage to the driveway large hedge cutting large holes and blowing all debris underneath which accumulated.
Due to the none work of this gardener that was employed each time the gardener left we had to do the actual gardening and also clean up the mess the gardener left.
We have endured the cost of this.
Also when I asked this manager of what his qualifications were, I was told this is irrelevant.
This is just one of many issues I have had with this company.
Lazy,self serving company, not for the customers welfare.
Do your research and employ a quality company to save yourself a lot of grief.

"Hi Michael Newborn MBCM"

Hi Michael Newborn, the MBCM managers are very crafty as educated by their head franchise. They like to keep the owners in the dark, and suck out of you and the owners as much as they can. They make you think that you are obligated to the rubbish they tell you. They like to take control and lock you in the contract, because a lot of owners are just lazy to do anything.

"Absolutely appalling weve had to engage…"

Absolutely appalling weve had to engage a solicitor due to their actions. Very unprofessional rude and arrogant we own our property not them.

"Excellent Body Corporate Management"

We found MBCM management services to be professional, competent and reliable and have no hesitation in recommending them to everyone.

"Absolutely Shocking and Appalling…"

Absolutely Shocking and Appalling Experience. Caused Me Signifcant Financial Damage and Loss.
Our body corporate:
1. Continuously advised land was private land of one of the owners after they built a private terrace on it, when a qualified land surveyor has since advised in writing it is definitely common.
2. Took my body corporate monies and gave them to a third party (their lawyer) without my knowledge or consent (illegal) and in breach of the act that governs lawyers.
3. Incorrectly advised pets were not permitted in my property or on the common land affecting my tenancy rights and my sale (contained in the Owners Corporation Certificate placed in my section 32 and wiping out at least 62% of my buyers).
4. Authorised the ripping out and destruction of my property (attached to my house) worth around $15,000.00, without my knowledge or consent.
5. Changed insurance companies to a cheaper one via a broker of which the manager was an agent of, and pocketing the difference without my knowledge or consent.
6. At times never even bothered to respond to communication.
7. Very poorly managed the property (eg. paid a gardener who never did any work or attend to the gardens well at all and didn't even cut the grass or weed.
8. Said I could be heard at an AGM then cut off the meeting and closed it down without allowing me the right to raise the issues I had included in the agenda.
9. Filed litigation against me in relation to a bill hiring a lawyer who then was deemed by the VCAT to have double dipped, sought money they had no right to seek, and ran the proceedings ranking up costs, didn't send mail to my address but to my rented property, ran cases without me present and able to defend myself, then sent the sheriff's to my house terrorising me and my children with orders that were not legally sound in the first place, and continued to do this on a number of occasions.
10. No one cared to listen to the issues or deal with them when reported and thus they continued on for longer than they should have, and in fact worsened.
