FAQs
What strata repairs are the responsibility of the owners corporation?
The owners corporation usually repairs common 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’s corporation is responsible for:
- Roofs and gutters
- Ceiling, unless the problem is with changes the owner has made
- Boundary walls
- Carpets in common property (such as hallways)
- Lights in common property
- Any lights recessed into the ceiling
- Garage doors
- Balconies and balcony doors (for strata plans created after 1974)
- Windows and window locks
- Plumbing in boundary walls and under the floor
- Water damage coming from common property
