25.01.2022 Leasing in Commercial Strata! - Once a commercial enterprise is involved, the complexities of leasing are magnified. ... Solicitors, Strata Managers and Landlords need to approach the deal with care. We have just represented a person who found what they thought to be their perfect tenant. It turned to disaster because the lease didnt consider the requirements of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015. Before leasing a property, a Landlord or their representative should consider the following list: Are the premises zoned to permit the enterprise? Is there a bylaw preventing the enterprise? Will the fit out require strata approval, for example, will there be a need for a development approval that the strata will have to execute? Will the fit out require a common property bylaw, which will require 75% support from the other lot owners? What impact will the enterprise have on insurance?

25.01.2022 Being an agent gives you an opportunity to work for a range of principals (the entity to whom you owe a fiduciary & contractual duty). Provided you’re mindful of always avoiding a conflict of interest with your principal, you could conceivably be wearing many hats at the same time - vendor’s agent, buyer’s agent, property manager and even tenancy advocacy.

23.01.2022 Lot Owners Freedom to pick Tenants The lasteat from our Blog A number of times recently I have been confronted with Landlords being refused tenants. In other words, the Owners Corporation is standing in the way of the Lot owners chosen tenant. ... Section 139 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 prohibits Owners Corporation interfering with a Lot owner dealing on their property. This means in simple terms the Owners Corporation cannot prevent a Lot owner from entering into a lease or granting a mortgage over their property. The question therefore arises whether the Owners Corporation can refuse to sign development approvals or refuse by laws. I think the true position is that, although the Owners Corporation can choose to vote against the by law, they can only do it on reasonable grounds. Owners Corporations have to have good reason to not sign a development approval and be careful in voting down proposed by laws. We buy properties to either live in or rent to others. The legislation clearly gives priority to those who want to rent. See more
