Thanks.

Will speak to the real estate and ensure the ones they gave me are complete and up to date.

JimmyT, great forum.

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.

Agents now have to attach the By Laws to a lease of a strata property, so I suggest first going to your Managing Agent who can contact the Strata Manager.

I am an owner but asked for a copy at our recent AGM.

The Strata Manager told us that he had to do it now for new rental leases (of properties where he is a Strata Manager) and so sent each of us a copy of our By Laws with the AGM minutes.

Hi everyone,

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.

I assume there is a government department where I can obtain a copy.

Thanks.
