    This makes perfect sense but the key to this is in the last paragrph – it's about making people responsible for work costs whether they come straight from their own pockets or are paid for by the OPC.  Either way,  there's no free ride in strata.  Just because the OC pays for repairs of common property, it doesn't mean they are getting something for nothing.  Crack that little conundrum and you're ahead of the game.

    By the way, I worry about “user-pays” common property repairs because all it takes is for one person to come in and say, well, thanks for paying for your own work … but you still have to pay for mine!

    I also worry about the owners who let their own properties go to rack and ruin and let the termites spread to neighbours homes.  But, hey, if it works for you then that's all you need to know.
