Sharing of costs of maintenance and repair
7 Sharing of costs of maintenance and repair
The costs of maintenance and repair of a right of vehicular or personal access or an easement for services to which this Schedule applies are to be borne by the owners corporation, lessor (in the case of a leasehold strata scheme) or other person—
in the proportions specified in the instrument by which the easement was created or, if the proportions have been varied, the proportions as varied, or
if no proportions are specified in accordance with paragraph (a)—in equal proportions.
If a person (whether or not the owners corporation) incurs costs referred to in subclause (1), the person may demand in writing the amount that the owners corporation, lessor or other person referred to in the subclause is liable to contribute to the costs.
A demand made under subclause (2) must be accompanied by receipts or invoices or copies of receipts or invoices that evidence the expenditure to which the demand relates.
If the owners corporation, lessor or other person fails to comply with a demand within 7 days after it is made, the amount demanded may be recovered in a court of competent jurisdiction as a debt due to the owners corporation, lessor or other person.
