Power to make by-laws meant to regulate management, use of common property
Condominium by-laws cannot restrict owners’ right to rent out their properties, said the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) on June 26.
It added that the power to make by-laws is intended to regulate the management and use of common property within the development.
If there are disputes about the validity of by-laws, owners may go to the Strata Titles Boards with their case, it said.
The authority was weighing in on the case of a Geylang condo that passed two by-laws banning certain groups of foreign workers from living there.
The Straits Times reported on June 17 that affected owners of Casa Aerata — most of whom have rented their units to companies — said they received legal letters in April stating that they had breached a by-law by allowing work permit holders in the construction sector to live in their units.
