    Let’s forget strata law for a second.  You have stepped in, organised an emergency repair and saved the owners corporation potentially thousands of dollars. You actually tried to do the right thing but their systems were inadequate.

    So, you write a polite letter saying that they owe you money and you want it reimbursed. You should add that iIf they don’t do so within 14 days, you will commence proceedings at a district court for recovery of the actual expenses, legal fees, loss of amenity and personal expenses.

    Their call – do they want to do it the easy way or the hard way?

    The great thing about going to the district court is that you aren’t spinning the NCAT chocolate wheel – these guys work on the law and common sense.
