My, you have been busy bees over the Easter break. And among the welter of new questions and ongoing discussions is one about a little corner of common property that can only be accessed through our Flatchatter’s car space.
The space was used for years by our reader’s parents as a handy storage area. But since his mother passed away, the Body Corporate (this is Queensland) has gone in and ripped out the surrounding walls.
There is no documentation that can be found (so far) giving the parking space owner exclusive use of the storage area but, on the other hand, no one else can use it.
How does the owner resolve this pointless grab-back by the body corp? We have a few thoughts HERE.
