My only thought is to ask if the furniture is private furniture placed on common property. If it is, has OC permission been given for that, and if so, under what conditions?
I recall a similar Flat Chat question where someone’s car damaged common property. The OC wanted to pay for it. Eventually it was claimed on OC insurance, but the insurer then claimed against the car owner (a resident) who caused the damage. (Sorry can’t remember the reference or the full context).
