STBB’S REFERENCE GUIDE TO THE SECTIONAL TITLES SCHEMES MANAGEMENT ACT<\/h2>\n

For Managing Agents, Trustees, Owners and Property Practitioners<\/h3>\n

In this and the next few Property Law Updates, we provide a section-by-section summary of sectional title scheme management as envisaged in the new Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act that came into operation on 7 October 2016, after a long wait for it and the associated Community Schemes Ombud Services Act to become operational.<\/p>\n

The reference guide also includes the text of cross references to other sections and regulations, as well as key search words, to ease your coming to grips with the Act’s prescripts.<\/p>\n

We suggest you retain each week’s update and file it away, so as to build your own personal referencing guide of all the provisions of the Act.<\/p>\n
