question
All of our letterboxes are together on the common property. If a lock needs to be replaced on a letterbox after 5 years, who is responsible - the body corporate or the lot owner.
answer
If the letterboxes are considered common property then it would be the body corporate's responsibility to maintain the common property and repair the lock.
If the letterboxes are considered common property then it would be the body corporate's responsibility to repair the lock. If the letterbox is not common property, then it would be the owner’s responsibility.
How can you tell? It’s not always straightforward, but if they are located in a bank on the common property then, unless there is a specific by-law stating otherwise, they are more than likely to be common property and the responsibility of the owners corporation.
