Hi,
Long time reader – first time poster.
I’m not sure how best to approach this, or actually get something happening in terms of a resolution.
The issue is this:
I am currently a tenant of an apartment in a building of 24 units in Perth, WA. The garage is, like almost all apartment buildings, located directly below the building.
Unfortunately, there appears to be some significant water leaks throughout the building – granted it appears to be only from rain – however the water is leaking through the concrete etc, collecting concrete and lime dust, before landing on my car and – essentially – drying there to an immovable state.
The issue first raised its head in April this year, where, after a number of Managing Agents and emails back and forwards, the resolution was for the installation of shallow ‘evaporative drip trays’. I’m sure you agree, a band aid action rather than a solution, and it took 3 months for this to happen.
It now appears to be that the band aid solution has failed, and the issue is returning. I have advised the real estate agent in writing, and also advised that I would not be tolerating a 3 month period for resolution – but i’m not sure what else can be done.
I doubt i could serve them of a breech of agreement, because the issue appears to be a common property issue.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
