I was hoping to seek some expert help also…

My issue is exactly the same as 'whale' except:

• This is a residential property and I am a tenant in the apartment complex
• My damage is corrosion on the rims of my 2 alloy wheels expose to the water leak over the last 4 months
• The property is in Darwin

The damage is approximately $2500 and I have approached the body corporate for reimbursement to the damage.  Their respond was as follows:

• Their Insurance company does not cover this claim as it was damage to my car???  I thought the body corporate must take out insurance to cover for loss or damage to third party property?

As such I was wondering is there an equivalent act to s.62 of the strata scheme Management Act for the NT that I can make a claim against to achieve a positive outcome as per previous post.

My other concern is that I am leaving Darwin in 4 days and I feel they are using this as an excuse and dragging out the time in the hope that once I leave it would make it more difficult for me to put a claim through the local court.  This lead me to the next question, can I put this claim in a different state?
