leaking balcony repairs

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 furniture on the balcony (some were there when we moved in) and they all need to be moved for the repairs to take place.

The strata manager has given us permission to store these things on the common roof terrace during the repairs, but due to the fact that there is a lot to move, most of it heavy and awkward, we are considering getting removalists to help with moving it all.

My question is, who should be responible for the costs of moving all this stuff? the repairs are due to the building not being built properly in the first place, but it isn’t  covered under the builders insurance (not sure why), so the building management comittee raised the funds through a special levy. Should they be responsible for moving all the stuff or reimburse us for the moving costs?

IT seems unfair that we should have to bear the cost/inconveniece of all this.

Cheers
