    Just to add to my previous comments and Scotti’e observation below, it is worth noting that the section of the strata Act dealing with exclusive use by-laws and the like, assumes that the Owners Corp will take responsibility for altered common property unless it is otherwise specified in the by-law.

    This is not the same as someone having made unauthorised changes and then selling without telling, but the intention is clear – if no one else takes responsibility then it falls to the Owners Corp in the absence of any legally binding document to the contrary.

    The opinions offered in these Forum posts and replies are not intended to be taken as legal advice. Readers with serious issues should consult experienced strata lawyers.
