Good Discussions All,
Hope my suggestions are of help RHM? I’m in a situation where myself and 3 other owners of our building ( the whole top floor ) have found ourselves without tenants and rent due to remedial works ordered by the OC, which has left the properties uninhabitable. We will probably be without tenants for at least 2 months or more. I know Strata’s Insurance covers against loss when common property defects, fire, storm, insured events cause loss to a tenant or owner but what happens if remedial building works organised by the OC causes the loss.
These works are not part of Building’s defects or warranty periods, these have already lapsed. If you read my other post ” an acceptable level of conflict of interest ” you will get the bigger picture of what myself and some other owners are dealing with. What do you think? would we have a valid claim for compensation or this may involve a Tort of Nuisance?
