Question: A window on a boundary wall of my villa was accidentally smashed by a golf ball. We back onto a golf course. Is the repair the responsibility of the lot owner or owners corporation? The cost to replace the glass was less than the insurance excess.
Answer: Usually, windows/glass on the boundary of your lot will be categorised as common property .
Usually, windows/glass on the boundary of your lot will be categorised as common property, but you will need to confirm any variations to this position from any notations on the strata plan and/or by-laws applicable to the scheme. Therefore, the repair is the responsibility of the owners corporation and its insurance as you were not responsible for causing the damage.
