It is interesting to read these responses and quite topical for us. What is the position if an owner wants to install an exhaust fan in a bathroom, where there has not been a previous one? It is a ground floor unit in a complex of 24 about 30 Year’s old. Owner wants to install an exhaust fan in a skylight which is in her bathroom. It would be installed in the ‘false ceiling’ of the unit ie the glass at ceiling level of the skylight. Owners are fine with it but who pays? Is it at Owners Corp cost because all bathrooms are supposed to have ventilation? Given that the bathroom has not had installed ventilation For the past 30 Year’s, is it classed as an upgrade and therefore is at owners own cost?
