    Thanks for the tips so far. Striking a bargain with the owners and getting the OC to pay for the removal and the owners to pay to have the new systems installed might be a good idea.

    Jimmy T you mention that they were installed in an open window. Its actually worse than that, they have been installed by cutting out a square piece of the main pane of glass of the main windows on the front facade of the building and slotting them into that hole supported by a bracket that is bolted to the exterior brickwork! Unbelievable that it was ever approved, if it ever was, and if it wasn't approved, its beyond me why no other lot owner hasn't done something about it before now. Five of the eight units have changed hands in the past five years including mine, hence the 'new blood' in the building trying to do something about this. Prior to that there had only been one other person buy into the building since 1964.

    Just wondering, if the AC units are now regarded as common property, would that mean the OC would have to pay for them to be repaired if they broke down? That would be outrageous!
