Me again… this is more of an academic question but it pertains to the ongoing dispute the OC are having with an owner.
It’s a continuation of the saga following on from the heavy rain in March 2017.
The owner has now insisted that the OC organise an investigation into the potential for water penetration into her unit. I have asked her on several occasions to specify where water is getting in or to show us evidence of water getting in. She has non because the water isn’t getting in. But she keeps saying that the rain we have had is not the same as the rain experienced in March 2017, which is true.
She has escalated her concerns from the north side of the building to now include her balcony and windows on the west side. Many of her concerns relate to unobservable items such as internal wall flashing, gaps under windows and observed features around windows that are consistent with her neighbours.
We have organised for a qualified consultant to come and examine her unit, and the building generally.
My question is… how far are we obliged to spend money on investigations to assuage the anxiety of an owner for a situation that MIGHT happen, as opposed to demanding evidence for something that actually IS?
Thanks in advance
