Our OC adopted the following as part of a longer rule (ACT-speak for bylaw):
… 7) The unit owner must at the owner’s cost repair and maintain any other item installed on common property and used only for the benefit of the unit. The unit owner must ensure that the item does not unreasonably interfere with the reasonable use and enjoyment of the common property by other unit owners or cause any significant adverse effect on the appearance of the common property or the safety of occupiers of the units or of the public, regardless of whether that installation has or has not been authorised by the OC. Examples of such items include, but are not limited to, air-conditioning systems, hot-water systems and awnings.
(8) The OC reserves the right to repair, replace or remove any of the items mentioned in sub-rules (1) through (7), and to remediate any loss or damage to the common property of the OC caused by the owner’s breach of those sub-rules, if that breach is not rectified within a reasonable time after a written request is made by the OC to rectify the breach. The unit owner must pay the costs of and incidental to the OC and its employees and agents to rectify the breach, which is recoverable by the OC as a debt due by the unit owner.
