      Good Morning All,

      This is just a small point, but one that raises a question which I can’t answer.

      Our strata comprises of 4 terrace style townhouses, each townhouse has a private fenced front courtyard facing the street. One of the townhouses’ front gate is damaged and needs repairing. The damage is a result of the gate’s catch falling off and left without repair. As a consequence of this the gate has been forced beyond its normal position, resulting in further damage. The townhouse in question is a rental property, the only one in the 4.

      My questions are,

      Is this an issue for the strata? Is the courtyard common area, it is private.

      If it is a strata issue, because the damage was not a result of maintenance or wear and tear issues but incorrect use, should the tenant/owner pay for the repairs?

      Flat Chatter advice would be appreciated. 

      Regards,

      Dudley
