The 3 replies to date are appreciated. However, I now find that our By-laws (recently updated following the introduction of the revised Act & properly registered) have adopted the “Common Property Memorandum” recommended by NSW Fair Trading. This memorandum details the following as Lot Owner’s responsibility –
‘5.(c) internal carpeting and floor coverings, unfixed floating floors.’
Under OC responsibility in relation to floors, the memorandum states –
5. (a) original floor tiles affixed to common property floors and
(c) original floor tiles and associated waterproofing affixed to common property floors at the time of registration of the strata plan.
Interestingly the memorandum does not mention floating floors under OC responsibility and under Lot Owner responsibility says UNFIXED floating floors.
What is the difference between a fixed & an unfixed floating floor?
Can a contents insurer deny liability if there is a By-law?
