You two raise an interesting point re responsibility for failed installation. On say, a balcony where someone has done the work on a reno such as waterproofing and tiling, and a proactive committee has made agreement that the lot owner can do it and it is thereafter that lot’s ongoing responsible for its upkeep and no longer other owners. Then should other common reno areas, such as bathrooms, also be assigned as that lot owner’s ongoing responsibility?
It seems a bit tricky as though these areas are usually considered strata responsibility, but when you consider the content insurer-used reference that ‘if you tipped the joint upside down: everything that fails to the floor is the owners and that which doesn’t is usually the Strata’s.’ but hard-surface areas obviously won’t unless the tiling really is totally dodgy!
I’ve heard of balcony reno work being assigned, but not internal works. So should they be?
