Hi Alanp
There is a threshold issue. Is the AC unit lot or common property?
If common property, then the OC was required to fix it if it was defective.
If lot property and the AC unit repairs can be categorised as loss incurred by you arising from a failure of the OC to maintain or repair common property, then the OC was responsible for the cost of repair.
If lot property and the AC unit repairs cannot be so categorised, then you are liable for the repair of the AC unit.
Let me know if you have any questions.
