            Hi, yep, bummer! I’d suggest engage other folks like council and insurance and other neighbours where they can engage the owner directly so it can’t be pointed directly back at…

                  • Author Small strata wiz

                  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…

                    I agree. Why should you? You pay insurance for these things. If they are genuine accidents these claims should be covered, and if they were malicious you would still be…

                      An OC has an obligation to repair common property. I would have thought the damage would be covered by the OC’s building insurance. Even if the damage was due to…

                        A lot owner has outdoor furniture that during a storm slams the balustrade and damages several of the aluminium balusters and breaks a glass panel. He advised the EC and…
