The reasonable request from a lot owner to install an air conditioner compressor in the common area cannot be denied. At all times, the pump is considered the property and the responsibility of the lot owner.
In NSW I consider approving a motion to install anything on common property without a bylaw defineing who maintains the item a potential nightmare for the OC.
If the OC or EC just passes a motion approveing this it appears to me that they (the OC) are accepting reasponsibility for the ongoing repair and maintenance of the item because they have not demanded a bylaw clarifing that the lot owner should accept the reasponsibility.
So how many Strata in NSW have approved one of these motions in the past not realiseing the potential ongoing consequences of this seemingless innocuous decision
