Body Corporates. Are your common areas a safe place to be?
With most properties managed by a body corporate, there is a communal or common area for tenants to utilise. Body corporates can manage properties that are residential, commercial and industrial.
The common areas of a managed property typically include:
- Lobbies
- Lifts
- Hallways
- Pathways
- Stairwells
- Toilets
- Pools
- Parking areas
- Driveways
- BBQ areas
- Entertainment areas
- Lawns
- Gardens
The upkeep of these areas is the responsibility of the body corporate to ensure they are well maintained and do not pose any risks to the tenants or their invitees.
Paradise Commercial Garden Maintenance have been providing high quality commercial lawn mowing, lawn maintenance, pruning, hedging, weed control, mulching, fertilising and landscaping to the outdoor communal areas for a number of body corporates on the Gold Coast for over ten years.
Here, Paradise Commercial Garden Maintenance share with our readers some tips to ensuring your outdoor common areas are safe places to be for your tenants, so no accidents or injuries occur:
- Keep lawns well mowed
- Prune trees and shrubs back regularly
- Trim hedges
- Weed gardens
- Ensure paving and pathways are well maintained
- Ensure the exterior of the building is kept clean
These simple tips will ensure a tenant doesn’t trip over in a pathway filled with weeds or isn’t injured by a falling tree branch for example.
Body corporates could be held liable for not properly maintaining a common area that causes harm or injury to a tenant or another person on the property.
Paradise Commercial Garden Maintenance can take the risk out of maintaining the lawn and garden.
