      I own an older style unit in Sydney. It’s a block of 12 in a Strata Block. Some time ago the building settled a little into its foundations. It may have been 20 plus years ago. It wasn’t much of a move but it has caused some cracks to the internal walls of my property. (The remedial builder told me this when he came to have a look at it). The cracks were always patched up over the years when painted. Recently I decided to renovate the unit and fix the walls up properly and wanted the walls fixed properly. I contacted the Body Corporate and after talking to the builder asked them to pay for it. The Strata Manager refused. I had to get it done quickly so I just had the job done. The Dept of Lands told me the BC was responsible for the integrity of the building so I should not have to pay. Do you agree? What can I do?
