Question: One of our lot’s water meter leaked resulting in an excess water bill. Is the affected unit entitled to claim the excess water charges from our Owners Corporation?
One of our lot’s water meter leaked resulting in an excess water bill. After a report from a plumber, the insurance company has stated it will not accept the claim. Is the affected Unit entitled to claim the excess water charges from our Owners Corporation?
Answer: It appears the bill could not be claimed on the Owners Corporation because the meter is not common property and there was no malfunction of the common property
It sounds as though the water meter is within the subject unit and is private lot property, so, it appears the bill could not be claimed on the Owners Corporation because the meter is not common property and there was no malfunction of the common property.
