Jimmy, not too sure myself Jimmy, How would I find this out ? The by law says Exclusive Use area as a result of the works and owner to repair, maintain and replace the right of the exclusive use where are installed..
Those words – “maintain and replace the right of the exclusive use where are installed” – don’t make sense. Is something missing?
But generally speaking, if an owner gets the right to build something and attach it to common property (like a wall) then that wall doesn’t necessarily cease to be common property, although the benefitting owner should be required to maintain and repair the area of common property to which their extension is directly attached.
So the OC may be required to pain the original wall, but not the extension. A sensible solution would be to invite the owner to pay a reasonable amount to have the extension painted at the same time.
