      We live in a small strata title apartment block which has large areas of garden on the title of 2 of the ground floor units. One owner/landlord has let the grass and decking deteriorate, whilst the bamboo etc hedges (on the boundary of the land but just inside their strata) are running wild. I understand the concept that an owner owns the inside walls of a unit and usually the exterior walls are common property.

      Am I correct in assuming that

      (i) this owner is responsible for keeping ‘their’ foliage neat and

      (ii) the foliage that extends over the boundary is common property.

      I realise that ‘neatness’ is a bit subjective and this garden is not a safety or fire hazard; it’s just a mess!

      If the owners corporation wishes to have the owner’s garden looking respectable can they require work to be done in and if so are they going to have a dispute about who cuts what?
