Hi JEFF TEST START & MANAGE

Owners often complain that they have no power, that the trustees rule the roost and the chairperson controls the scheme. But owners do actually have a lot of power if they know how to use it.

In this episode, Jennifer unpacks owner rights in sectional title schemes.

1. A body corporate’s ‘organs of government’ - so you can see where owners fit into the picture

2. General rights of a sectional title owner in relation to their property

3. Rights in relation to the trustees

4. Rights in relation to the body corporate’s finances

5. Rights in relation to general meetings

6. Rights in relation to accessing the BC’s records and documents

7. Rights in relation to the appointment and termination of managing agents

8. Rights of owners in new developments
