Every strata property needs well-written, up-to-date by-laws or building rules. PICA Group through Kemps Peterson Legal offers an affordable way for strata owners and committees to minimise risk with our by-law or building rules drafting, updating, registering and consolidating service.
By-laws are the rules that residents and visitors must follow regarding their behaviour and the use of common property in a strata community. They are the cornerstone of successful community living, providing clear guidelines for tenants on what they can and can’t do and helping to protect owners and committees from disputes and litigation.
Many strata owners don’t realise just how important by-laws are until an issue unfolds. At PICA Group and Kemps Petersons Legal, we encourage owners to review their by-laws regularly and update or amend them as required.
Kemps Petersons Legal’s by-law drafting, updating, registering, and consolidating services help reduce administrative burdens for strata owners and committees and guarantee that all legislative requirements and time frames are met. Whether straightforward or technical, our legal specialists offer customer-focused and affordable services that include;
Kemps Petersons Legal experts will draft your by-laws, making sure that they are fair and reasonable and are not discriminatory or contrary to existing law or public policy.
If a by-law is no longer relevant due to changes in legislation (i.e. the changes to laws regarding short-term letting in NSW), we can update or amend it to reflect this change or create a new one to take its place.
The legal team then registers your by-laws with your relevant state or territory body, within the specified time frame and using accurate wording and formatting.
Your by-laws must then be consolidated, a process that can be complex and time-consuming if not handled by professionals. For example, your by-laws must be submitted with accurate formatting, numbering, and vetting of repealed by-laws, and previously amended by-laws must appear in a logical sequence.
At PICA Group and Kemps Petersons Legal, our by-law drafting, updating, registering and consolidating service reduces administrative burdens for strata owners and committees and guarantees that all legislative requirements and time frames are met. Whether straightforward or technical, we have your by-laws covered.
