Legal Services

West End QLD 4101

A vulnerable lady who is living in and paying off a unit in West End has unfairly been issued an invoice for a visit from a plumber to the unit above hers to address an ingress of water from the pipes from their bathroom. Body Corporate Legal Advice is not covered by free legal services. The Invoice has been halted for a short time to allow her to arrange for a plumber to give a report about the cause of the leak. This hasn't been arranged yet as she is on a disability pension with no spare funds to pay for a plumber, but feels it is unfair as the Agent for that unit sent the plumber's invoice to the body corporate manager to be paid and they have created an invoice for the effected unit owner to pay. (Note the leak occurred on a Saturday evening and the Agent of the unit hung up on her so when she reported it to the body corporate manager the chairperson said call in office hours, but when she called on Monday no action was taken for 11 days when the plumber could see no leak and the Agent felt this was an unnecessary cost.

Recipient story

This lady struggles to be at ease in her home everyday
GIVIT
This lady has anxiety and finds socialising difficult. This had led to tension with neighbours and those on the body corporate. She feels backed in a corner and has little resources (both people or money) to address the problems that have arisen. On this occasion a leak occurred from a bathroom above hers and left a pool of water in her bathroom ceiling. Before doing anything the body corporate committee (as advised by the body corporate manger) have asked for a plumber to report on the cause of the leak.
