Living in a strata scheme comes with unique responsibilities for both individual owners and the owners corporation. Knowing what you’re responsible for can help you navigate the complexities of strata living and ensure that everything runs smoothly.

The “Who’s Responsible: A Guide To Common Property” created by Strata Community Associations NSW (SCA NSW) outlines the key responsibilities for various areas and items within strata schemes.

This publication offers a list of items typically regarded as common property within a building. However, identifying what qualifies as common property can be complex due to the building’s history, renovations, and specific by-laws. Generally, you will need to consult the strata plan and by-laws to ascertain who is responsible for repairs and maintenance.

We’ve attached the “Who’s Responsible” guide for your reference. This resource will help you understand your obligations and ensure you contribute to a harmonious living environment.
