Certificates
 | From August 1st 2025, the updated Property Law Act comes into effect, and this means the removal of the Disclosure Statement StrataMax and the StrataMax Portal, and changes to Certificates produced from StrataMax for buildings managed in Queensland. These changes are released in StrataMax v5.6.134. Our QLD Certificate article includes details on where information will merge from and what new areas have been introduced to Info Editor based on these new requirements. |
Rental Certificate
 | A new Rental Certificate option is also available for all ACT clients in StrataMax v5.6.133. The Unit Titles Management Act 2011 requires all landlords to provide a rental certificate to tenants before a new or renewed lease for a unit or townhouse within a unit title complex in ACT. |
Levy Management
 | The first stage of the Levy Mangement refresh has been released in StrataMax v5.6.135. With this release includes the ability to create new levies manually or by budget; when produced by budget for the levy year being proposed / approved at an AGM, the periods are calculated based on your budgets and the default fields in Levy Invoice Code Setup.

Task Management
 | A brand-new Task Management screen released in StataMax v5.6.135 provides users with the tools to efficiently manage the varying tasks associated with strata management, ensuring nothing is missed. Tasks can be associated with a building; where not associated to a building the task is considered an office task. |
