        • Author Sarah_1

        The balcony on my unit (i’m a tenant not an owner) needs to be ripped up, re-waterrpoofed and retiled. There are a lot of very heave and large pot plants and oudoor…

          Re: OC Renovations and Damage to Lot Owner’s Property.

          • 15/08/2012
          • Author mattb

          In all honesty, the OC should bear the costs: if not for the full repairs themselves (the best option for them to take), then certainly the cost/excess for you to…
