Sectional Title & Community Schemes
Article 13 of 74

Read the scheme rules before you move in.

Scheme rules can affect parking, pets, refuse, exterior changes, use of common facilities, security procedures and everyday behaviour. They apply to owners and can also bind tenants and other occupiers.

PROPERTY INSIGHT 13 Read the scheme rules before you move in.
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

  • Request the current rules, not an old welcome pack.
  • Check whether amendments have the required CSOS approval or compliance status.
  • Owners should take reasonable steps to ensure tenants, family, staff and visitors comply.
  • If a rule appears unusual or highly restrictive, ask for the exact wording and legal basis rather than relying on summaries.
