Hello,
Our Strata mamager has been insisting that an owner must obtain a by-law to renovate a wet area such as a bathroom. The logic being that the body corporate is covered if the waterproof membrane is damaged or not installed properly. This seems excessive and expensive and tends to encourage people to not go thought the proper channels. Surely if a water proofing certificate is obtained from the tradesman that is OK? And if there is water leakage, it is covered under normal circumstances such as common law, and rectification can be enforced either way.
Any thoughts?
