@IBC said:
the Owners Corporation (OC) must maintain the common property as well as lot property invested in the care of the OC, such as exclusive use areas which may consist of balconies, courtyards, parking spaces etc.
What does invested in the care of the OC actually mean and can you give us some examples.
The act also states
61 (6)
Recovery of costs as a debt
The costs incurred by an owners corporation in carrying out any work referred to in this section may be recovered by the owners corporation as a debt.
They are talking about private property of the lot.
I personally would be VERY upset with a BC manager (or EC) who decides to spend BC funds maintaining the private lot of any owner without a very good reason (without billing owner for said work).
The act states that the BC manager and the EC have to act on behalf of all owners and giving preferential treatment to certain owners is misuse of funds and at worst corruption.
A good reason in my book would be a disable person unable to do the gardening themselves.
