I own a top floor apartment in a Class A building in Canberra. The roof leaked and caused damage to my ceiling. Is the Owners Corporation responsible for fixing the leaks and repairing any damage?
The Owners Corporation is responsible for undertaking necessary repairs to the roof to prevent water ingress affecting your unit
In an A Class development, the roof is identified as common property and under S24 of The Unit Titles (Management) 2011, the Owners Corporation is responsible to maintain common property, amongst other things.
Simply put, yes, the Owners Corporation is responsible for undertaking necessary repairs to the roof to prevent water ingress affecting your unit, as well as to repair resultant damage to your ceiling as a result of the roof leak.
