Why Strata By-Laws Are Important
Strata living in NSW offers many benefits, but it also comes with a unique set of rules and responsibilities. Central to the smooth operation of any strata scheme are its by-laws.
Understanding these by-laws, ensuring they are fair and compliant, and resolving any disputes that arise from them is crucial for harmonious community living. This is where expert legal advice from a specialist strata lawyer becomes invaluable for every lot owner and owners corporation.
What Are Strata By-Laws & Why They Matter in NSW
Strata by-laws are legally enforceable rules that help manage the day-to-day functioning of strata schemes in NSW. They are designed to:
Guide the behaviour of owners and residents.
Regulate the use of common areas and facilities.
Maintain harmony within the community.
These rules must be registered under the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW) to be enforceable. Because of their legal significance, expert advice is crucial when drafting, reviewing, or resolving disputes related to by-laws.
