Hi again
You’re correct in that painting ceilings (and walls for that matter) is normally the responsibility of the lot owner. Since you’ve only quite recently repainted your ceilings you’re obviously not just trying to get a fresh paint job at the expense of the OC. Jimmy and Whale have raised the issue in previous discussions about who pays when damage is caused to an owner’s property as a result of work being carried out by the OC, and the view was that the OC should be responsible to reinstate your unit fully to its pre-existing condition. Where insurance comes to the party and any excess is involved, the OC should make up the excess.
