… pressure is being applied and they have put a motion on the ECM meeting listed after the upcoming AGM.
Motion “unauthorized works carried out to (my) unit… be discussed and appropriate action be decided upon”.What’s my position? What are my rights? Can they make me pull out all unauthorized alterations done by previous owner? I think the alterations were all internal not common property but don’t really know.
First of all, the Executive Committee can’t force you to do anything although they can apply to the CTTT for orders (which they are unlikely to get in the circumstances you describe).
Secondly, they have no comeback over non-common property changes that were made within your apartment by you or anyone else.
Finally, if unauthorised changes were made to common property by the previous owner, the Owners Corp has to maintain and repair them (or return them to their original state) at their expense.
In short, all you have to worry about is the hassle you might get from people who don’t know what they are doing. I suggest you send a letter to the EC telling them politely that the non-CP changes are none of their concern but you are happy to discuss how they plan to fulfill their legally enforceable obligation to maintain and repair common property that has been changed.
