I suffered ceiling damage due to a leaking roof in my strata townhouse … is the OC responsible to recompense me for painting and wardrobe repairs when the damage to the paintwork is directly due to the leak?
In a word yes. You should put in a claim, with quotes for painting and repairs, immediately and tell the Executive Committee or strata manager that if it isn’t fixed within seven days you will take them to Fair Trading and NCAT (the Tribunal) to have orders imposed. The easiest and cheapest way for the OC to remedy this is to get the work done – that’s what will happen in the end anyway so they may as well get on with it.
