Can I sue a negligent Owners Committee?
That took 5 weeks before they agreed to obtain a quote to have the floor of my shower recess removed to repair faulty membrane
Can I sue for loss of rent during that period?

Send them a bill for the amount with a reasonable time for them to respond. If they fail to do so, take them to NCAT where, at the time of writing, the Tribunal can award compensation.

I say “at the time of writing” because, according to this report by strata lawyers J S Mueller, this has changed over the years and could change again.

However, if you were the unfortunate test case that forced another backflip at the tribunal, you could always go to your small claims court.

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
