Strata Law
Strata law in New South Wales is a complex and ever-changing legislation that governs how people living in strata properties interact. It covers the rights, responsibilities and obligations of owners living in units, apartments or townhouses, commercial units, either as an owner-occupier or tenant. The laws also define how these properties are managed, maintained and insured.
In New South Wales, strata law is covered by the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (SSMA). This act outlines the duties of owners, occupiers and strata managers to ensure that the common property is maintained correctly and safe for use by all parties. It also sets out rules for setting up meetings to make decisions about common property issues, appointing strata managers to manage buildings and other essential aspects of the running of a building.
The SSMA also includes details about dispute resolution between owners, occupiers or tenants and strata management regarding matters such as maintenance issues or breaches of bylaws. Additionally, it contains information on insurance requirements such as compulsory public liability cover for all strata schemes in NSW.
Overall, strata law in New South Wales provides an important set of regulations to ensure that all involved parties in a strata scheme are protected from any possible disputes or misunderstandings.
