Commissions for strata managers should be banned ‘sooner rather than later’, NSW productivity commissioner says

The push to ban strata manager commissions reflects broader concerns about housing affordability in New South Wales, particularly in Sydney, where rising property prices are forcing many to consider apartment living as their only option. The potential ban could lead to significant changes in the property management landscape, encouraging more transparent pricing and potentially lowering costs for residents. However, the government's hesitance to act on these recommendations raises questions about its commitment to addressing the housing crisis.
