Can we terminate a strata manager for cause without notice?
Yes, if the manager has materially breached the agreement — fraud, gross negligence, repeated failure to perform key duties, loss of licence or insurance. Get legal or specialist advice first because wrongful termination can expose the owners corporation to damages.
What counts as 'material breach' is fact-specific. Examples that have succeeded: misappropriation of trust funds, repeated failure to lodge insurance claims, ignoring committee instructions for months, refusing to provide records. What usually fails: one-off communication problems, slow email responses, personality clashes.
