Q: I have a remote garage door that requires servicing/maintenance. Who is responsible, the owners corporation or the owner? All remotes have new batteries but just stop halfway. According to the manufacturer they require maintenance.

A: In most cases, garage doors are considered as owners corporation responsibility. If you need to be sure, it is recommended that you check your strat by-laws, or contact your strata manager if one is available. You may also wish to contact your strata committee for further clarification.
