I certainly wouldn’t say they were commonplace but I would would reckon there’s a lot more than 1 percent of strata plans that have these modifications either from inception or which have evolved. For instance, any strata plan that has a mixture of commercial and residential lots will have a raft of special by-laws to govern who is responsible for what.
Specific wording aside, – because that’s down to whoever drafts it – any special resolution exclusive use by-law will or should have clauses establishing that part of the trade-off for allowing exclusive use is that the beneficiary becomes responsible for the transferred properties’ upkeep.
