Hi all,
The unit above my rental property had a water leak, which caused some water damages & marks on my ceiling. The property is in NSW.
The strata manager has already sent someone to fix the unit above but she says I'll need to claim from my insurance to get my ceiling fixed. This seems contrary to my understanding that the ceiling is a common property and it's damaged by the unit above, hence, shouldn't the strata fix it?
A similar incident happened in one of my previous apartment block, and the strata manager there got the ceiling fixed for my neighbour.
Anyone knows what's the correct procedure? BTW, I didn't have insurance for the unit as it's very old.
