Frequently Asked Questions
Who pays if a pipe leaks in a Melbourne apartment wall?
It depends on whether the pipe is in common property or solely serving one lot. A plumber can assess the pipe location to clarify responsibility before the Owners Corporation is approached.
Can I call my own plumber for repairs in a Melbourne strata property?
Yes, for repairs within your own lot. For common property repairs, notify the Owners Corporation. In an emergency, mitigate damage first, document the issue, then notify the Owners Corporation.
