I disagree with both Jimmy and TruLI Concerned.
The rectification to common property inconveniences everyone, owners and tenants.
If the owner (landlord) also lives in the building he/she is similarly inconvenienced but the tenant is entitled to a rent reduction?
I would add that the tenant ALSO benefits from repair of driveway, less wear on tyres, etc.
If it went to mediation/NCAT etc, and they found in favour of the tenant, I would think it is a gross miscarriage of justice and proves the old adage – the law is a ass.
