It’s time for a by-law health check!

How do your by-laws stack up?

Do you rely on the model by-laws and little else?

Or do you tweak your by-laws to get the most out of them?

In this short article we explain how you can tweak some of the most common by-laws to improve them such as:

• Parking
• Pets
• Floor Coverings
• Moving In/Out
• Renovations

Most buildings rely on the model by-laws. But the model by-laws are very basic. Yet, with some tweaking, the model by-laws can be significantly improved, as the examples in this paper New Laws – Tweak Your By-laws shows.

There are many strata managers who are preparing and registering consolidated sets of by-laws for the strata schemes they manage.

We have recently come across several by-law consolidations prepared by strata managers that contain critical and costly errors.

In many cases, the professional indemnity insurance policies held by strata managers may not cover the negligent preparation of consolidated by-laws.

Here are some examples of mistakes we have seen… By-law Consolidations – When they go Wrong?
