      Window Replacement

      We recently noticed an owner had replaced a window to their unit. No approval was sought for this replacement, and no notification was given. Despite bringing this to the attention of the Council of Owners and the Strata Manager there seems to be no interest to address the situation with the owner.

      The response from the Strata Manager was that “it has nothing to do with them”.

      We have since learned that the alteration was arranged by the property manager as it was below the threshold for repairs given to them by the owner.

      We have also learned that the property manager had been in contact with the Strata Manager about this matter.

      Little information has been provided by the owner, who coincidentally, is a member of the Council of Owners.

      Questions: Are we correct in assuming that by altering common property without permission any future insurance claim for leaking or other concerns from the owner regarding this window should not be entertained? What is the best way for this alteration to be recorded?

      The state is WA.
