I’ve heard of balcony reno work being assigned, but not internal works. So should they be?
In NSW it is common for parts of bathrooms – common walls and floors, for instance – to be considered common property. Retiling a floor would involve resetting the waterproofing and that would require a by-law which should assign responsibility for continuing upkeep to the renovator and successive owners.
Considering that leaking bathrooms are the No 1 defect in apartment blocks, this makes perfect sense.
This might not apply to townhouses as there may be little or no common property involved.
