Creating sectional title conduct rules that work.
For trustees that want to create a harmonious environment in their Sectional Title schemes, the most important thing to do is ensure that they have a set of Conduct Rules that are modern, clear, and specific.
It is quite common to hear complaints about residents not following conduct rules – as well as complaints from residents about trustees who don’t enforce conduct rules, who apply them arbitrarily, or who seem to make up rules as they go along.
While there are clear and easy legal steps that trustees can follow to ensure greater compliance, less friction, and a scheme that is much easier to manage, the biggest problem in most sectional title schemes is that their Conduct Rules are hopelessly out of date and inadequate to address many of the issues that trustees have to deal with in modern schemes.
