In a normal situation the external walls of a lot is common property I assume this includes entry doors and windows and is maintained by the owner’s corporation.

Early strata law was different
- Balconies included in the lot, who is responsible for maintenance of doors inside the lot the balcony door
- By-laws (regulation) did stipulate that unless stated the owner getting exclusive access to common property is responsible for maintenance unless otherwise stated, who is then responsible for maintenance of the garage door that is part of the common property given exclusive rights to. (if all lots have garages no problem but all do not hence does a lot not allocated a garage pay for maintenance for common property not shared) The situation was not considered when the lot entitlement was registered as the by-law for exclusive use of the garage where registered years later (all 1 bedroom units has exclusive right too external parking space all other has exclusive right too lockable garages all common property) and no mention about maintenance hence all maintenance the lot owners getting the exclusive use of common property responsibility

PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
