Tiles tenting in my living room of strata apartment

Hello,
I need some advice. About 8–10 tiles in our living room suddenly started tenting one night. It happened out of nowhere and made a really loud bang. Two of the tiles cracked, but the rest still appear to be in perfect condition. I live in an apartment in NSW

I've contacted strata, but they've been painfully slow to respond and haven't given me any clear answers.
I got a rough quote from a tiler of $1,250 to replace 10 tiles, which seems really high to me. Apologies if I'm missing something, but couldn't they just remove the grout, relay the lifted tiles, and then regrout them? I understand the two cracked tiles would need to be replaced, but the others seem fine.

Would this normally be my responsibility, or should strata be arranging and paying for the repair? The damage is near my front entrance, and all strata has suggested so far is that I put a rug over it in the meantime. It still feels dangerous to walk over, and we've had to move our large cabinet in front of the area, which now blocks the middle of our living room. It's really not a practical way to live.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Do you have this light? Need help with replacing bulb

I bought my apartment 6 years ago, and the light in my office has died. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to replace it. Do I need to replace the whole fixture, or is there just a part that needs replacing?

Does anyone have the same light or know how this works? Where do we buy the fixture from? Does Bunnings have them?

Please help!
