I have a question related to an issue with dealing owners corporation - Is this the right line to ask guidance? I am in

Hi, I’m John, solicitor, and reviewing your post, and may need to ask a few questions a long the way to assist you.

Concerning your important matter about the toilet being connected to the hot water system, as this is a construction issue, the body corporate should attend to this matter immediately.

With the body corporate fails to attend to this matter immediately, you should obtain the builders contact details and reach out to the builder with a written correspondence request in them to come and fix this issue straightaway.

Where the builder fails to attend this matter urgently, let's say seven days, then notify the body corporate that the builder has failed to act, and that you will commence proceedings in the Victorian civil administrative tribunal.

The VCAT process is very good to meditate disputes of this type as it forces the parties to come together to discuss the issues involved.

In most cases at mediation the matter will settle.

The matter is Civil.

You will be the applicant and the insurer the respondent.

The important filing document is the points of claim. This document needs to be carefully drafted.

I recommend that you download the application first, complete the same and then upload as required to commence the claim.

The alternative to this is filing an application in the local court, in which case you will be able to recover your legal fees as well in pursuit of the debt amount.

What you need to do is to write the complaint in a chronological order detailing what is the issue and what action you have taken to try and rectify the matter.

The chronological order need to be numbered with points 1, 2, 3, etc. with each point being a separate item.

I recommend that you download the application first, complete the same and then upload as required to commence the claim.
