Based in NSW south coast. Bathroom ceiling became water damaged when a common property pipe upstairs burst and flooded the crawl space.
The gyprock manhole was completely saturated and fell off as well as half the trim. There is a gaping hole now that is sagging around the edges; the whole ceiling will need to be replaced.
The OC is obstructing us at every step. We have three owners in our 14-unit scheme who are in arrears totalling five figures (yeah I know it’s not my problem, we are up to date) but the SM is using this as an excuse to not issue work orders.
We have had a gutful of all the incompetence and want to sell. Wife wants to just let it go and repair the ceiling ourselves, but I’d like to try mediation and see what happens.
Given their reluctance to you know, actually understand their obligations under the Act, I’d like to propose that I organise repairs myself, and then submit a request for reimbursement quoting section 106(5).
If we sell, and the application for reimbursement is still before Tribunal, does this cancel our claim? Or can it still go ahead?
