Due to the peculiar shape of our block a large portion of common property is at the rear of the building. This area is full of weeds, dead leaves and not maintained in years. A vast majority of the unit holders live in the front so they are not bothered. If it goes to vote the majority will rule that we dont want to spend money on the rear. Can anything be done about this?
It's interesting that the section of the Act that deals with the OC's obligation to maintain common property specifically refers to appearance. As Daniel Dimock of Teys points out, their obligation is established, and they can either do this the easy way – just do it – or force you to drag them through the CTTT and then have to do it anyway.
By the way, you should have some sort of cunning plan up your sleeve to beautify the area or somebody will suggest concreting it.
