Living in units or flats

If you live in a flat or unit, you should be aware of the following.

What are the by-Laws I was given at sign-up?

Body Corporate by-Laws are the rules followed by the unit complex in which you live. These rules benefit all people living in the complex and concern items such as noise, behaviour of visitors, damage to common property and keeping pets. It is a condition of your tenancy agreement that you follow these by-Laws.

Can I get involved in the Body Corporate even though I don't own the unit I live in?

Yes you can, but as you are a tenant in the complex, you don't have the right to vote at any Body Corporate meetings.
