23.01.2022 STRATA SCHEME BY-LAW REVIEW Each strata scheme has its own by-laws, which are a set of rules that owners, tenants and, in some cases, visitors must follow. By-laws cover behaviour of residents and the use of common property. They can cover issues such as whether pets are allowed on the scheme, how smoking is regulated, parking and noise levels. The by-laws can vary significantly from scheme to scheme and it is important to understand which by-laws apply to your scheme.... Owners corporations can determine the by-laws that suit the preferred lifestyle of the strata scheme. A by-law must not be harsh, unconscionable or oppressive. No by-law is capable of restricting a dealing in a lot, including restricting short-term letting. By-laws cannot restrict children, and cannot restrict the keeping of an assistance animal. A copy of your scheme's by-laws is kept on the strata roll and is available from either the secretary of the owners corporation or from your managing agent (if your scheme has one). All strata schemes must review their by-laws by 30 November 2017. Schemes may wish to use the Model by-laws (see below) as a guide when reviewing their own by-laws. The by-laws that apply to your strata scheme depend on the date the strata plan was registered. More information on these by-laws can be found on the Registrar General's Guidelines website.

20.01.2022 Courtesy of Bailey Compton Leverage Group AIR BnB We’ve written in the past regarding difficulties with Airbnb. We’ve indicated that, in many cases, Airbnb is illegal in a residential premise. We have also raised the issue that, Airbnb is not licensed and takes money on trust on behalf of landlords. This leaves the consumer open to detriment on a high scale. In other words, if another organisation created an Airbnb type of model, and they had taken considerable amounts of mon...Continue reading

18.01.2022 Courtesy of Leverage Group YES OR NO Nothing happens without a decision ... Throughout Australia, the management of an owner’s corporation, body corporate or community title does not change in relation to how things are done. Nothing in a community living arrangement can be done without a decision. Decisions can only occur with a meeting. When considering the legality of actions by strata schemes or community associations, we always look to the paperwork. Legislation has nationally set out a very clear procedural regime that needs to be followed for a decision to be passed. These include: Notice of the meeting, which includes the agenda; Whether the meeting has been conducted in accordance with the rules; and Whether the minutes reflect the outcomes of the meeting. There is a line directly from the agenda to the decision. The notice of meeting must follow the guidelines set out by the various legislations and must include all items required by that legislation. The meeting must be then conducted in accordance with the rules. Finally, the minutes must reflect the notice of the meeting. If you want to do something in a community living arrangement, you must always look to your legislation to ensure that you can do it. There must be a meeting, and you must identify who can make the decision. Whether it is the committee or the body corporation who can make the decision, is set out by the legislation. The legislation becomes your bible and the simple mechanism to follow. We all hate meetings. Without meetings however, in a community living arrangement, nothing can be done.
