There is a water leak into my unit from the upstairs apartment but the owner won’t allow access to the strata plumber to fix the problem. What can I do?

Usually there is a provision in the Act or the default rules/bylaws that allows the EC to appoint a representative to enter a unit to inspect or undertake necessary maintenance of the common property. Reasonable notice must be given etc. If entry is still not permitted then it would be the unit/lot owner who is in breach of the rules.

I would take it up with your EC and/or strata manager.

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.
