Due to the urgent nature of some of the repairs I think the way to go is to document everything, have the repairs done now by the body corporate and then pursue costs.Sounds like a plan. I think it has been established in law that, in the event of a delay, the Owners Corps’ first priority is to effect repairs then find the person responsible for the damage and get them to pay for it (rather than the other way round).
Agreed. It demonstrates to the Tribunal that the OC takes its statutory obligation to repair and maintain the common property seriously, but that does not mean it should not then seek to recoup its reasonable costs. It needs to demonstrate that they were reasonable. Hence documentation.
