Hi there,
I'm living in my apartment for nearly 9 years and my management fees are fully paid and up to date.
There are x4 apartments in my hallway and I am the only owner occupier. The other x3 apartments house families with small children. These children don't have anywhere to play, and so my hallway has turned into a playground. As a result, the hallway is filthy. The kids have drawn all over the walls (they are quite young) and the carpets are stained. I've spoken to my neighbours and they say that its not the kids who live on the hallway that have done the damage but rather kids who live on other floors.
Anyway - I've hounded the management company, who have tried to clean up, however they have even advised themselves that the walls will need a paint job...and that they don't have the money for this.
My question is why should I put up with the dirt, when I'm fully paid up with my fees.
Does anyone know that if I foot the bill to buy paint myself, and then paint the walls myself - can I claim the cost back from my management company?
Has anyone done this?
Thanks a mil
