This week we look at why so many strata disputes are getting stuck between NSW Fair Trading's mediators and NCAT's tribunal adjudicators - maybe it's because they don't talk to each other.And maybe it's because some disputes are between right and wrong and compulsory mediation can be a big fat waste of time.  As if that weren't bad enough, NCAT doesn't even communicate internally.  Why else would a strata manager sacked from not one but two large buildings be given total control - with no owner input allowed - of another scheme?We look at the places where rent is more than mortgage repayments and we look at moves to get gas cookers out of apartments.They're coming for your stoves! Well, no, they're not - unless you believe the rabble-rousers and dog-whistlers at Fox News.That's all in this week's Flat Chat Wrap.____________________________________________________Flat Chat is all about apartment living, especially in Australia.Find us on Facebook and Twitter and the Flat Chat website.Send comments and questions to [email protected] to ask and answer questions about apartment living anonymously on the website.Recorded by Jimmy Thomson & Sue Williams; Transcribed by Otter.ai.Find out more about Sue Williams and Jimmy Thomson on their websites.
