Derek,
Jimmy said……The easiest and cheapest way for the OC to remedy this is to get the work done – that’s what will happen in the end anyway
Whilst I agree absolutely with that premise so far as what should happen in terms of fairness, all that must happen is that the Owners Corporation (O/C) repairs its common property, and your case that’s the roof and ceiling of your townhouse, and of course anything else that may be damaged in the process of it making those repairs.
Painting of the ceiling and the repairing of the wardrobe are matters which the O/C may attend to at its discretion, and whilst I again agree that should happen given the delays in repairs and the further damage arising from those, it doesn’t have to.
So by all means get those quotes Derek, but in my opinion a demand for your O/C to repair anything other than its common property will be a bit of a try-on, so it’s worth considering that as a fall-back position the Insurer of your contents may cover anything that your O/C and/or its Building Insurance will not repair, provided it’s supplied with written evidence of that refusal.
