      In our block of 36, some owners have lock-up garages (on separate title if that’s relevant).

      There is no power supply to the garages except for an overhead light, but over many years some owners have quietly had a powerpoint or two run off the light’s power to wall powerpoints; which may be illegal or even dangerous I’m told.

      Now a tricky new owner has obtained a quote for an electrician to put a legal, proper powerpoint in his garage at a cost of $19,000 and EXPECTS THE OWNERS CORPORATION TO PAY FOR IT TO BE INSTALLED. He claims, since the Owners Corporation is responsible for the walls and he only owns the air space, they should pay.

      Seems to me he’s wrong. Am I right? 

      Also, it’s suggested owners with existing connections running of the lights may be forced to have them removed at their own cost. (All would pre-date current owners and some are 30 years old have been incident free.) This too seems unfair. Right?
