Often owner’s committee’s are not away that by law they are required to ensure the property is kept in good condition and structurally sound. That’s regardless of funds you have, workload if other stuff is underway, time available is short, how much effort they do or dont put in, individual taste, whatever: if it needs to be done, it needs to be done, and ideally done before then.
If it’s not done it harms resale values and amenity and if it causes an accident you may actually void your insurance because the place wasn’t maintained as your insurance requires. Find it written in your State’s Act and show them that so it isn’t you but the State saying as much. And if it gets the go ahead be sure that the people who thought it was all fine are not the ones to reorder the carpet as you can bet it will be a horrible price or colour or both, and you’ll likely be then stuck with it.
