The NSW Strata Schemes Management Act 1996 includes
“44 Who is required to comply with the by-laws?
(1) The by-laws for a strata scheme bind the owners corporation and the owners and any mortgagee or covenant chargee in possession (whether in person or not), or lessee or occupier, of a lot to the same extent as if the by-laws:
(a) had been signed and sealed by the owners corporation and each owner and each such mortgagee, covenant chargee, lessee and occupier, and
(b) contained mutual covenants to observe and perform all the provisions of the by-laws.
(2) There is an implied covenant by the lessee in a lease of a lot or common property to comply with the by-laws for the strata scheme.
(3) In this section, ‘lessee’ means, in relation to a lot in a strata leasehold scheme, a sublessee of the lot.”
