If you''re considering apartment living, this book is for you.

When I moved to an apartment I imagined I was gaining a low-maintenance home. I didn''t realise I would swap cleaning my gutters and mowing the lawn for fighting a petty clique to fix the flooding in my garage and consulting lawyers to protect my privacy and reputation. 

I hope you''ll find my story educational. In my view, Australia''s body corporate system is broken. Our building committee, body corporate managers and complex managers all breached the Body Corporate Act many times, and the systems that should have allowed me to hold them to account were expensive, slow and ineffective. 

Buyer beware!
