Hi,
I have repairs needed on my unit/townhouse and have advised the real estate several time but they keep saying strata need to do it and they can't make them.
The key issue is that the Owners Corporation has an absolute legal responsibility to fix common property – no limits and no exceptions. Your rental agent should know this.
You can either take your landlord to Fair Trading and get an order forcing them to demand that the Owners Corp fixes Common Property – that will cost about $35.
Or you can take the Owners Corp to the CTTT yourself, which costs about $75 but at least you’re cutting out the middle man.
Call Fair Trading on 13 32 20 to get the ball rolling.
