Easter is upon us and the furious deluge of questions and answers has been reduced to an irritated trickle.
One reader wants to know why his strata manger has said the broken electrical cord in his concrete ceiling has to be repaired at his cost.
And was the strata manager right to tell him to drill away if he wanted to fix it?
The “bible” on common property, the “Who’s Responsible?” memorandum says cabling inside common property is the responsibility of the owners corporation. But it also says services that only service one lot are the lot owner’s to repair, if need be.
Who’s right and who’s wrong? That’s HERE.
Another wants to know if there are reliable figures on the use of Airbnb and wonders if it’s as big a problem as some (including yours truly) make out. That’s HERE.
And finally, the secretary of a strata committee wants to know if their strata manager had the right to send them the bill for providing a copy of the strata roll. That’s HERE.
Have a good Easter and why not start planning something nice for your Mum next weekend.
