Ok. This is the last time I post to harp on about the definition of the EC, but where I say “the OC has a legally binding duty to maintain common property” the people I am dealing with on the EC will say that the OC is me so I should organize to get the work done! This is what I am doing with here.
So can I say “the OC has a legally binding duty to maintain common property and the EC as the respentatives of the OC should ensure that such maintenance is carried out”? You see this is the problem here with most residents. They think the OC is the people on the EC. Some on the EC know there is an OC and an EC. So if I say it’s the OC responsibility to maintain, most owners think that is the EC and those on the EC will say that I should do the work as I am on the OC not the EC!
I have been spurred on with this issue of no maintenance after receiving a call from an elderly resident asking me for help for a maintenance issue discovered. It is the same issue that I reported at the beginning of year, that I had the audacity to suggest that all such areas of units be inspected for the same issue and guess what, this problem is popping up all over the complex. So I really need to get something done as I am the only one capable of doing anything and want to get this correspondence organized.
I really need to let the EC know that they cannot put their hand up for the committee, go home and shut the door and ignore issues brought to their attention. I have to let them know that they have a responsibility and if I say it is an OC responsibility then they will honestly not think it is them, because they are the EC! If I cannot say that the EC as respentatives of the OC have a responsibility then m corrospendence is doomed to go nowhere!
