Payment for removal of an airconditioner as a result of balcony works

Hi guys 🙂

My strata has currently been informed all balconies are not safe for owners to use so they’re undertaking a major renovation to fix that up – this part, I have no issue with. The part I do is that they’re asking all strata owners to pay for their outside airconditioner units to be moved in order to accommodate the building work. In my mind, if the strata is paying for the building work for the balcony, they really should be paying for the airconditioner to be relocated as part of that. Their justification for asking the owners to pay is that as the airconditioners service individual units, it is not up to them to pay for their relocation? I’m thinking they wouldn’t have to be moved, if capital works weren’t being undertaken. Am I totally off base? It’s only a few hundred dollars but just isn’t sitting well with me…. I’m in Adelaide.

Cheers
