If the common property works arose from something that’s defined as an “insured event” and that made your Lot uninhabitable, then loss of rent is an optional benefit that’s more often than not taken-up by Owners Corporations (O/C).
So again check your O/C’s policy because if it includes that cover as an appended “special benefit” your loss would be claimable in those specific circumstances, but otherwise the O/C is not legally liable.
Your O/C could resolve to make an ex-gratia payment, but then that would be like you making a part-payment to yourself wouldn’t it?
