What is the situation when an owner puts a building on common property. With Owners Corporation permission? Without Owners Corporation permission? Who is responsible for ongoing maintenance of the building and the land on which it stands? Can the Owners Corporation charge an annual fee for use of the common property?

I believe that if the OC has given permission for someone to build on common property, without an exclusive use by law drawn up, then the OC is responsible for the maintenance, upkeep etc.

Did this owner get permission or not? He would have to have council permission to build and council would want OC permission? Even if you lived in a house you would need To check council guidelines.

If there isn’t an exclusive use by law for this owners construction, I would suggest your complex get one.

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.
