Scheme-specific reminder
Community-scheme rules can differ. Always check the current rules, approvals and documents for the specific complex or scheme.
What to know
- Exclusive-use rights can arise through registration or valid scheme rules.
- The owner may have maintenance or cost responsibilities even though the area is common property.
- Do not extend buildings, enclose patios or alter exclusive-use areas without checking the required approvals.
- During a sale, confirm that any exclusive-use right being marketed is properly documented and can pass with the transaction.
