What strata repairs are the responsibility of the individual owners corporation?

Individual owners repair anything within their property: however, if you are unsure who should make a repair, contact your strata manager or consult your strata plan and by-laws.

In most cases, the owner is responsible for:

• Changes you made to the ceiling
• Internal walls
• Carpet in your property
• Internal painting or wallpapering
• Lights that protrude or hang into your property
• Window cleaning, unless you can’t access it (for example, if it is too high)
• Plumbing in internal walls and fixtures (such as baths, toilets, sinks and showers)
• Water damage coming from inside your property
• Balconies and balcony doors (for strata plans created before and up to 1974)
