What happens if I carry out communal repairs myself?

You do have the responsibility of carrying out some repairs within your property yourself. However, you must not carry out any communal repairs. If you do you may invalidate any insurance cover to the building, and the work may have to be re-done by TMO contractors, in which case you may face paying the costs of that work yourself.

Carrying out these works is actually a breach of the lease agreement, which could lead to further legal complications. If you are not sure about carrying out a repair, please contact your TMO/EMB Officer who should be able to advise you further.
