Who is responsible for maintaining the inside of my lot?

Answer
As a lot owner, you are responsible for maintaining the inside of your lot and any fixtures and fittings within it. This includes: - Internal walls and ceilings - Flooring - Internal plumbing (taps, toilets, hot water systems) - Electrical fittings within the lot - Kitchen and bathroom fixtures and appliances - Air conditioning units serving only your lot The exact boundary between your lot and common property is defined in the scheme plan and community management statement. Maintenance obligations can sometimes overlap — for example, a pipe that services only your lot may be your responsibility even if it passes through a wall. If you are unsure whether a maintenance issue is your responsibility or the body corporate's, check the CMS or ask the body corporate manager.
