Are House Rules Binding? This will Surprise You!

 House rules are not binding right?  You might be surprised.

The rules which govern participation in a strata scheme are called by-laws.  By-laws are made by a developer on registration of a strata plan or by an owners corporation by special resolution passed at a general meeting. By-laws are registered on the title of the common property and are binding on the owners corporation and owners and occupiers of the lots.  If by-laws are breached, they are able to be enforced.
