      Is the ground floor Unit courtyard consider common property? One of our unit owner wants the strata corp to pay for a report done on a tree for submission to the council for permission to have it remove. The unit owner wants the strata to pay for the removal as well.

        What does your strata plan say? Courtyards often aren’t common property – in which case your owner has no claim – but you won’t know for sure until you check the plan.

          Strata plan stated CY (Courtyard) and not CP (Common Property). Does it mean the tree currently on the owner courtyard is her/his responsibility? She is complaining that the tree is the main cause of dampness in her unit.

            Sounds like the tree is her property and therefore her problem. It’s a roundabout argument but the OC could charge her for damage done to common property (damp in the walls cause by her tree). It would be a good idea all round to sit down and negotiate a solution.
