      Hi There,

       

      I purchased a property last year. When we purchsed this property the real estate agent told us that the windows were approved to be fixed and the courtyard was to be fixed( the Execuative Commitee had taken responsibilty for damage). The courtyard was damaged by a collapsing sunshade. The sunshade should have been maintained by Strata. We were shown emails from the Chairman of the Execuative Committee stating that the repairs come under the Owners Corporation and that they will be attending to it when the new owners take over. They even went as far as getting a quote for the courtyard.

      Last week we recieved a letter in the post from the Strata agent  telling us that the courtyard would not be fixed at their expense and that the damage was gereral wear and tear.

      I have attached the email from the Chairman below and just deleted the names. Any advise you could give me on actions I should take in this case? How can the Chairman of the EC accept responsibilty then take it back?

      Hello Lawrie,

       

      Following on from our conversation today, I have attached our last minutes which show that the ceiling has been repaired and an order has gone out to have the doors and woodwork repaired.

       

      As to the courtyard, we have a quote to repair the pebblecrete for $4,820.00 incl GST which the Owners Corporation have yet to approve.  This repair does come under Owners Corporation.  We will be attending to this when the property is taken over by new owners as it would be a waste of funds if the new owner does not like pebble crete and wishes to lay tiles.  The extra price for tiles would be at the new owners’ expense.

       

      Hope this clarifies your queries,

       

      Regards,


      Chairman of the Executive Committee

        Thanks Jimmy.

         

        Porblem is that it is in our private courtyard. I’m not sure anyone can accept responsibilty for something as seen in the email and then suddenly say it is gereral wear and tear
