Q: We recently had a roof leak during heavy rain. The body corporate has had the roof repaired. My question is who is responsible for the resulting ceiling damage inside our unit?

A: If you reported the damage at the time, the body corporate may have been able to include it in their insurance claim as consequential damage. It may still be worth asking your body corporate that question, as well as your own insurer.
