Yes. Generally speaking, there is a strict obligation for the owners corporation to repair and maintain the common property under the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015.
Some exceptions to this rule are as follows:
No. If the owners corporation does not have the funds to carry out the repairs, the owners corporation must raise levies so that it will have enough money to carry out the repairs and then it must undertake the repairs.
You can apply to NSW Fair Trading for mediation regarding the issues that you are having. If the matter is not resolved by mediation, you can apply to the Tribunal for orders:
You may also seek orders for a strata manager to be appointed by the Tribunal who will take all decisions away from the owners corporation and who will have authority to undertake the repairs without the requirement of resolutions of the owners corporation.
If you are making a claim for damages, certain time frames need to have been adhered to and you will need to determine this before bringing the claim.
The owners corporation may only argue that a lot owner must make repairs to lot property, not common property. Please see our articleĀ What do I Own and What is Common Property?.
It needs to be determined that the item requiring repair is in fact common property. Many factors can determine this issue including the age of the building, whether there is a by-law in place passing across repair and maintenance, etc.
Once it is determined that the item in question is in fact common property, you may seek that the owners corporation repair the common property.
If the owners corporation damages your lot property in the course of repairing and maintaining the common property, it is liable for the damage to your lot property.
