Scheme-specific reminder
Community-scheme rules can differ. Always check the current rules, approvals and documents for the specific complex or scheme.
What to know
- Owners are generally responsible for maintaining their sections, while the body corporate is responsible for common property.
- Exclusive-use areas and certain installations can have special cost arrangements.
- A leak can start in one area and damage another, so identify the source before deciding who pays.
- Report problems promptly because delayed repairs can increase damage and create insurance complications.
