If it’s a common property wall, and the leak is coming from a closed window that needs sealing, rather than just rain coming through the open window,
And it’s causing mould and health issues, it’s an urgent repair that doesn’t need voting on and needs to be remedied asap with minimal cost temporary measures to limit the damage. Tell the SM this.
Leak and mould investigators are very busy at the moment, so it’s possible there is a real delay.
Every owner has a degree of responsibility.
If SM has not given you a definite date, and you know for certain the contractor they will use, I’d ring them to find out what’s happening, and book them to come earlier if you can, then let the strata manager know they are booked in. If they aren’t able to come quickly, get 3 quotes and pick the quickest (as it will save further cost from more damage). Record everything you do.
Until the leak gets fixed –
I’d take photos/ video of the existing situation, then –
– move the bedside table so it doesn’t get damaged or provide more area for mould to grow;
– Put a container under the leak, or peel the carpet away and put down some temporary protective plastic sheeting
– clean up the existing mould to stop it spreading and dry out the carpet with a hair dryer
– maybe look for where water is getting in and put some clear silicone waterproofing sealant there as temporary protection.
Keep receipts for any money you spend.
– Look into getting a dehumidifier, or even just some of those sachets to reduce air moisture
– send receipts to strata manager and request reimbursement.
