Where can I get a copy of all the bylaws for a Strata Plan? I am currently a tenant and while I have been given some bylaws, I unfortunately don't feel it's the complete set of special bylaws that have been passed.
According to the Tenants NSW Fact sheet No2, Starting a Tenancy, “the landlord/agent must give you a copy of the NSW Fair Trading New tenant checklist. If you are renting in a strata scheme, they must give you a copy of the by-laws within 7 days.”
I assume there is a government department where I can obtain a copy.
Lands and Property Information (formerly the Department of Lands) is where to go as that's where by-laws are registered (see this link) but I'm not sure if tenants can ask for a copy of a strata schemes by-laws. Call them on 1300 052 637 and ask.
But really, your landlord and agent are legally obliged to provide up-to-date by-laws so they should be your first call, to make sure the by-laws are current.
