I had a similar situation in my investment strata unit in NSW.  There was a leak in my unit caused by common property plumbing. The strata plumber who came to repair the leak caused a major leak and my unit flooded. The tenant moved out, I lost rent and had to get new flooring.  Thankfully I had an excellent property manager who continued stressing the major damage was caused by the strata’s plumber- so in the end the flooring was paid for, rent reimbursed and advertising for new tenant paid for.

thanks everyone for the feedback and input.

I’ll start with the approach of pushing the need for setting realistic levies for the Administrative and Sinking Funds that must “…. take into account, a statement of the existing financial situation of the strata scheme and an estimate of receipts and payments” (ref: Sect 75) and in the case of the latter, as Jimmy mentioned a 10 year (forward estimates) Plan.

I’ll also ask for a review of Lot entitlements as the garages are on the title of Lots 2, 3 and 4, and mine has the car space only (the other 3 lots also make use of the equivalent space in front of their garages anyway).

I’ll also try and get them to arrange and pay for their own garage doors.

 

I’ll let you know how I go.
