Thankyou Maria for your very in depth reply. My challenge to the administrator was referred to their director and met with the reply that the budget that was voted on was for the current year therefore the fee increase applied to the whole year. I asked where this was stated in the minutes or the statutes and she has not responded. I also asked her whether since the majority of owners, through no fault of their own, were not up to date with the fees, due to the bank account change, did this mean that legally they were not entitled to vote in the agm. She has not responded to this question either. I asked the president for his opinion but he has since resigned!

Thread: Community fee increase

Our community had its agm in the middle of April last year and voted to increase the community fees by nearly 100%! They had not collected the first and second quarter fees by direct debit on 1st jan and 1st April due to a change of community bank account and administrator.  Not wanting to get into arrears I had requested the new bank details and manually paid my fees on the usual dates. 
 The question I am having trouble finding an answer to is once the new fees were agreed at the agm can the increase be backdated to the beginning of the year? I have read the minutes thoroughly and cannot find any mention of it.
