Common Property

Home » Resources » Common Property

Part of the function of an Owners Corporation is the repair and maintenance of Common Property.

Any member of the owners corporation can be involved in decisions about repairs and other projects by attending the annual general meetings and volunteering to join the committee. For most decisions, a majority of members must approve the proposed work before it can proceed.

What is Common Property?

Common property exists for the benefit of all members. As such it is integral for your owners corporation to undertake the repair and maintenance of the common property to ensure it is maintained.

Further, your owners corporation is required to comply with any notice served by a statutory authority in regard to common property. For example – an order by the water authority to repair a leaking supply main.

Examples of common property include:

  • Walls
  • Passages
  • Pathways
  • Recreational Facilities
  • Gardens
  • Foyers
  • Stairways
  • Driveways
  • Lifts
  • Fences
