Hi Struggler
Section 62(1) of the Strata Schemes Management Act states:
1) An owners corporation must properly maintain and keep in a state of good and serviceable repair the common property and any personal property vested in the owners corporation.
Consequently, if the mould is caused by defective common property, then the owners corporation is required to not only repair the cause of the mould but also compensate the affected lot owners for loss or damage incurred as a result of the defective common property.
So, the key question is, what is the cause of the mould?
