    Hi, There was a recent court case (NSW can’t remember, but last few months) where the ceiling paint of a lot was the Owners Corporations responsibility, because the paint was damaged by a roof leak. The OC had repaired the ceiling but not the paint. But the Judgement was, that as the damage was caused by a failure in repair and maintenace of common property (the roof) then the OC was responsibile for damage to paint. So if the paint is damaged because the ceiling is damaged (Repair and Maintenance) then the OC should paint it.  The OC is doing the ceiling then the OC must paint.

    Think of it this way, if the OC waterproofed a shower they would be responsible for removing and re-fitting the showerscreen. So if the OC can do the ceiling without touching the paint, then it would be the owners.
