I apologize if this is a ridiculously basic question – but is there any way to find out what By-Laws a SP already has?
They get registered somewhere, so I guess it must be possible to find out what they are, but I can’t see where to ask.
We are in NSW if that makes a difference…- This topic was modified 2 years, 1 month ago by .

Hi
By-Laws are registered with the Land Registry. If you have strata management there’s a good chance they’ll have a portal where by-laws; meeting agendas & minutes; financial reporting etc can be found. So inquire with your Strata Manager if you have a portal and get the log in details, if not they’ll be able to email you a copy.

If you are a tenant, your landlord or rental agent is legally obliged to provide a copy of up-to-date by-laws.
If you are a landlord or owner-resident the by-laws should have been attached to your title deeds or documents of sale. If you no longer have them your solicitor or conveyancer may have hem. Also your strata manager should have them too.
Some schemes also include the consolidated by-laws in their AGM agendas.

Not quite directly from the LTO but look at https://www.nswlrs.com.au/Information-Brokers and choose one. Have your credit card with you. By-laws have to be registered or they’re not enforceable.
Perhaps reach out to the committee as there’s a good chance they’d have a copy.
Otherwise you could try the Land Registry, unsure how easy it is: https://online.nswlrs.com.au/wps/portal/six/home/

I always find it astounding that the owner’s committee regularly do not have them on-hand, know them, refer to them, nor regularly comment on or disperse them to other owners and new tenants, as it is them that are legal required to enforce them, and having these known by tenants would, you’d expect, allow most folk to stay informed and avoid obvious breaches.
In NSW the Strata Roll has to have a copy of By-laws.
