Our chairman has a broken letterbox latch meaning he can’t padlock it (not that I’ve ever seen it padlocked before), but he is now claiming that mail is “being stolen” and wants his letterbox replaced and paid for by the OC.
Isn’t he responsible for the upkeep of his own property, and not the rest of us?
I understand the concept of an OC sharing all costs, but what if one owner doesn’t ever repair anything himself and others do?
Unfortunately our current committee is pretty happy to look after themselves and not anyone else!

Are the letterboxes part of or on the common property? If so, an argument could be made that it is an OC responsibility. However, it is not a good look for an EC member to ask for something they could just fix themselves for a trivial amount. If multiple letter boxes need repairs and they are common property the best way to deal with it would be to fix them all, or none.
