Hi all. I’ve recently joined a share house on the second story of a three story apartment in Melbourne. The guy on the third story has a key to the rooftop but we don’t. I’ve asked him for access but he is non responsive. He has done the whole rooftop up like it is his own. Do we on the second floor have legal rights to access the rooftop?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

So does he own it? Or is it community property?

Maybe just follow him up there one day? It would take a bit of work but may be worth it.

Does the person (people) residing on the first floor know more?

Or Google the address and see if the plan for the third floor apartment is on line. If it shows the rooftop as part of apartment then you’ll have the answer.

Good luck and I hope you get to the roof.

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.
