Who pays for repairs to common property?
The owners corporation pays for common-property repairs from the administrative or capital works fund. Common property usually includes external walls, roof, foundations, lifts, common hallways, gardens, driveways and most pipes and wiring inside the structure.
The owners corporation has a strict statutory duty in every state to keep the common property in a state of good and serviceable repair. It can't delay essential repairs because of cost. If a repair is causing damage to a lot, the lot owner can seek tribunal orders forcing action and damages for loss.
