Ten of the 154 lots in our strata have air conditioning. Each air conditioning (AC) unit serves one lot. The strata plan, registered in 1997, does not mention them. The owners corporation (OC) has maintained, repaired, and replaced the ACs for nearly 30 years.
According to the common property memorandum, this is the lot owners' responsibility. For the OC to stop paying for the maintenance, repair or replacement, do we need a by-law?
We have over 10 homes on large blocks along a 1 km sealed private road, installed some 30 years ago.
We have public liability insurance for the road, but we can't find any information as to whether the road has been certified. Council has no records or information.
If the road has not been certified, could this cause us any insurance or liability issues?
The lift in our highrise broke down at 7pm. The lift company quote a $600 call-out fee. Our secretary declined to pay, and the lift company arrived 7 am the next morning. We arrived home late to an out-of-order lift, with no notice from the committee and no signage posted. Like other residents in the building, we have health issues.
We have more than enough funds to pay this fee. Can one person delay a lift breakdown that affects the building and any disabled residents?
