And if it was out of warantee, dont see why they'd do anything

Your damn right its a Bosa issue. I bought a product I expected to meet Bosa quality standards. Instead I got a product which meets the standards of a mud hut in romania.
The blame starts with Bosa and follows all the way down the tree to the idiot that failed so poorly at tiling my floor.
That's like me hiring a company to build my house, and then I fall through the floor when I move into the house. I am supposed to not lay any of the blame on the company and only blame the nupty who framed my house? Nah man, the company is just as responsible.

A lot of times, I find that strata almost has to play hardball with the developers to get them to honour the warranty. (ie. sending them a formal, legal letter via the strata's lawyer). This hardball game is easier to play with a good property management company, but with one of the apartments that I had in the past, the management company was basically a subsidiary of the developer, and it was very frustrating for the strata to get any useful info out of the management company even though they were supposed to work for us (the strata).

Bosa retiled the entire building after a 3 year battle.
The fact that they refused to do it from the onset it what makes them crooks.
EDIT: And yes the management companies really suck, it's not that they are a subsidiary of the developer, its that they want a good relationship with the developer because it is the developer that normally brings on the management company until the strata is established.
Strata's are pretty crap as well, but that's a whole other issue. Lots of people who have no idea about anything end up n strata, and just screw things up.
Lets just say I'm better off as a detached home owner, where I can do whatever I like.
