      Our EC recently received a request from a particular lot, to have a damaged awning and exterior door fixed/replaced. We have established that these items are common property and therefore the OC is responsible for their repair/replacement.

      However, this is the tricky part. Two other lot owners have witnessed the previous rental tenants of the requesting lot, causing the damage.

      So effectively, the requesting lot owner is asking all other owners to pay for damage caused by their tenant. Purely on principle this seems wrong, so how do we go about this?

      Do we simply dip into the capital works fund, get it fixed/repair then charge it back to the lot owner? Or just ask them outright to pay for the repairs themselves?

      At which stage the lot owner is welcome to recover the cost from their tenants rental bond. This of course is beyond what the OC/strata is concerned about.
