My understanding is that the ‘Who’s responsible?’ document was just a consolidation and interpretation of a number of issues related to common property. In it, it says original fly screens should be maintained by the owners corporation.
I also think (and I hope one of our stratagurus will correct me if I’m wrong) that the transfer of responsibility for common property requires the approval of the owner or owners who are taking on that responsibility.
It’s not the other owner’s fault that her neighbours have fixed up their common property at their own expense. Perhaps they should have been thinking more as a community and less as individuals.
My solution would be to offer to fit new fly screens at the owners corp expense provided she (and all the other owners) agrees to a by-law that transfers ongoing responsibility to the individual owners.
