Sectional Title Scheme Rules under the New Legislation.
In the light of the new sectional titles schemes management legislation, I have re-examined the subject of sectional title body corporate rules.
First I look at the four types of rules a developer or body corporate can make. Then I examine the law and other legal principles applicable to rules and draw conclusions as to what can and what cannot be regulated in terms of each type of rule.
Then I compare body corporate rules with other types of regulation, particularly title deed conditions and municipal laws such as those that govern town planning and land use. Finally I apply my conclusions to the controversial issue of short-term letting rules in sectional titles schemes.
