How to claim money back from the strata?

[aitsmoi]

I had to get a locksmith to open up a faulty lock. The locksmith has been already paid for his services. How do I now go back to strata and claim back the money? If I just send them the invoice and explain the situation, will that be enough?

Too a communal area? Then yes thats how you would go about it.

Yep, just send them the invoice and they should pay eventually - if the locks are part of strata and not your responsibility. In our unit, deadlocks had to be installed by the owners themselves. only the door handle lock was strata's responsibility. So when the deadlock needed fixing we had to foot the cost ourselves.

Depending on the issue the strata can tell you to jump. Repairs are requested not simply re-imbursed.
