New Laws – Is it Time to Tweak Your By-laws?

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.
