Why Your Insurance Claim Could Be Rejected (And How Maintenance Plays a Bigger Role Than You Think)
Picture this: A massive storm hits your Pietermaritzburg sectional title scheme. Your roof sustains serious damage. Water pours into units. The trustees submit an insurance claim, expecting the insurer to cover the repairs.
Then the assessor arrives, takes one look at the roof, and says: "This damage was preventable. We're not paying."
Who Fixes What? The Maintenance Question Every Sectional Title Owner Asks
Something's leaking. Or cracking. Or making a weird noise that definitely wasn't there last week.
Your first instinct? Figure out who's responsible for fixing it. Is it you? The Body Corporate? The managing agent? Your upstairs neighbour who probably caused it in the first place?
Welcome to the most common source of confusion, and conflict, in sectional title living. The good news is that South African law actually provides clear answers. You just need to know where the lines are drawn.
Show Me the Money: What You're Actually Entitled to See in Your Scheme's Finances
