Will community associates be included in the NSW strata watchdog’s power to enter apartment buildings without a warrant?
I have just read that the NSW strata watchdog seeks power to enter apartment buildings without a warrant and fine owners if common property is not maintained. If the law is passed, will it apply to a community association owner as well?
Whether the amendments apply to you will depend upon the legal structure within which your property is held.
The proposed law applies to all buildings subject to the Strata Schemes Management Act.
Please note that buildings within community associations can still be subject to the Strata Schemes Management Act.
Whether the amendments apply to you will depend upon the legal structure within which your property is held.
This is general information and should not be considered to be legal advice. You should obtain legal advice specific to your individual situation.
