Thanks for the replies, but both of those situations are completely different where
A. Unit owner above acknowledges and agrees to sort out the issue, and
B where mass amount of damage + strata property is damaged so they need to be involved

My case is trying to backcharge the owners, when they are shady and trying to avoid being a part of it

To answer some questions, emergency after hours was called (property manager), they said they would send someone out. They asked me to go upstairs and check the leak in the unit.

I went upstairs, told them theres water coming into my unit, and strata told me to check the leak.
Immediately the guy was like "your not coming into my unit" with an agressive defensive attitude, so he went to "look" then comes back, and says "its fixed" and that was that

20 minutes later, council came by, took photos of my unit, i asked them when the plumber is coming out.
Since it was saturday at like 7pm, and the leak was "fixed" and not pouring, they held off. Which is reasonable.

After emailing council, they said they spoke to the owner, but dont have any proof to help my cause.

This building is a dump for multiple issues, this just added on.

Really trying to avoid a civil tribunal / lawyer, it would be a massive waste of time over 1000$, headache, etc. With high odds of me paying for everything. According to my insurance company that said every time this kind of thing happens, its a wash.
