Cracked walls - Body Corporate responsibility?

[azbob]

I know that the BC are generally responsible for the outside of the building but are cracks forming on the inside walls not their responsibility too? Does that fall under the building's guarantee?

I think this might be covered by the insurance for your entire block/complex that the BC no doubt has in place. This would be true if the cracks are caused by external factors e.g. i made an insurance claim on ceiling cracks after water from the balcony above me caused damage. If not external (e.g. its been humid and paint is cracking off etc.) then i think thats up to you. Best get in touch with either your BC or one of the trustees and ask.

Also depends on whether it is a structural wall or one as a divider within the flat but certainly get your bc to lodge a claim and have it checked out.
