      I received an email from my managing agent (I own Unit 2, which is next door to Unit 1), who received an email from the strata manger, who was sent this email below from the managing agent of Unit 1.

      “Our tenant has reported that after recent works that were conducted in the unit next door, structural cracks are appearing in our above mentioned unit. (There was a photo of the top corner of a room with some cracks in the Vermiculite ceiling & wall)

      Can you please organise to have this inspected and repaired.”

      I had some renovations done in the unit which finished in November 2011. During the renovations, no work was done on the common wall between the two units or on the ceiling. I believe the cracks in next door’s unit did not result from my renovations. Where do I stand in relation to this matter and who pays for the inspection if it shows that this is not related to me?

      I have also just listed my unit for sale before this matter came up. How will this affect the sale?

      I would appreciate your advice as I am unsure of where I stand in this matter. Thanks
