Multi-Unit Developments Bill 2009

Public bill · Government · Presented

The Multi-Unit Developments Bill 2009 would create clearer rules for apartment and similar developments, requiring developers to establish owners’ management companies and transfer common areas to them. It would set fairer systems for service charges, sinking funds, annual reporting, voting, house rules and the transfer of membership when a property is sold. Owners, management companies and developers could ask the Circuit or High Court to resolve disputes, with mediation available; the Bill would also protect construction guarantees, limit management contracts to three years and make it easier to restore management companies removed from the register.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to amend the law relating to the ownership and management of the common areas of multi-unit developments and to facilitate the fair, efficient and effective management of bodies responsible for the management of such common areas, and to provide for related matters
