    Hi, If they are individual caged off garages, then they form part of the Lot and the Floor Cleaning would be the Lot Owners Responsibility.

    Not necessarily.  Some common property car spaces have cages, some lot property car spaces don’t.  Some cages exist where they aren’t supposed to, but no one has asked for them to be removed. Some people store stuff in open parking spots.  There is no hard and fast rule.

    Can you honestly imagine the difficulty in getting every Lot to move their car on the required date, let alone move all the stored contents? Never going to happen.

    My strata building manager tells owners when the carpark common area is being cleaned and invites owners to arrange for a free clean of their LOT spaces, including temporary use of vistor parking while it’s being done.

    The problem here seems to be concern over damage to goods in spaces adjacent to spaces that are being cleaned.  In many modern buildings, parking spaces are designated for the parking of cars only, either in the DA or strata plan.  In those cases, give residents fair warning but let them know if there is damage, it’s down to them for having stuff stored where it shouldn’t be in the first place.
