    Jimmy, I have just noticed a comment which you made on 13 June 2018 in reply to a post on “Common property or not?”.  The post concerned a cupboard which was attached to a wall in a shared garage. You stated “…if it’s not on the plan and there are no by-laws about the strata taking it over, then it isn’t common property”.
     

    Yes I have just revisited that comment and I had overlooked the part about the owner having inherited the “unofficial” cupboard from a previous owner.  That said, the resolution is simple – if the cupboard now belongs to the OC and the lot owner doesn’t want to pay for repairs, then the OC can remove it. It’s either their cupboard or it isn’t.
