We own an investment unit in NSW covered by a body corporate. The drainage pipes in the unit above us leaked into our bathroom and caused damage. The body corporate took responsilibity for repairing the leak.
But after the repairs, they refused to repaint where the repairer chipped into the wall and ceiling of our bathroom or to repair the rust damage to the bathtub caused by the leak.
They advised that it is internal and my responsibility to be fixed at my cost.
Is this true? They either accept responsibity or not. I expected them to return my property to me as it was before it was damaged by someone else outside my property and my control.
Where do I stand legally???
