In Queensland, understanding "Occupation Authorities"—the permissions granted to caretakers and letting agents to use specific areas of common property—is crucial for effective strata scheme management. These authorities come with important rules regarding their validity, access rights, exclusivity and termination. Even if an occupation authority is designated as exclusive, it remains subject to the body corporate's rights to authorise access to others. To navigate these complexities and ensure compliance with relevant regulations, seeking tailored legal advice is essential.
