I was on the board of directors of an OMC, the ops post is typical of the letters we would receive from owners in relation fees. Most often they did not attend AGMs, did not understand their rights and obligations, and often made allegations with no basis in reality.

Op, you are a member of the OMC, the property management agents, often an auctioneer, works for you. If you are not happy with how the OMC is being run, you say that at the AGM and propose a change. During the AGM there will be an income and expenditure discussion, again, you have the option to question spending levels and propose change. Proposals are voted on, but majority rules, unless you use your rights as a member to question any items raised at the AGM, you may be accepting the majority decision without exercising your right to object.

Section 18(10) of the Multi-Unit Developments Act 2011 places an obligation on you as an owner to pay your management fees.

Excellent advice to get here for free. Thank you.

The managing agent is one person and she owns multiple houses in the complex.

If this is the case. It’s certainly open for abuse. This was the case with the builders years ago.
You need to listen to the advice here. As you seem to only want people to side with you.
Go to the AGM. Talk to other owners. Get rid of the management agent. We have voted ones out over the years. We also vote on how to pursue those in arrears.

You could also contact the Property Services Regulatory Authority, who have powers to investigate if there is reasonable concern regarding management of client funds.

You need to get a copy of your title documentation from your bank and see exactly what covenants you have, and with whom. It sounds like you don't know your ass from your elbow at this stage.
