Sectional title scheme rules can be amended by way of a meeting of the owners of units in the scheme. The decision needs to be made:-
- by passing a unanimous resolution to change the Management Rules. For example, it may be decided to change the levies payable by owners of garage sections in accordance with a certain formula.
Or
- by passing a special resolution for the Conduct Rules to be amended. For example, Conduct Rules might prohibit "braai-ing" in an exclusive use garden or balcony, unless the owner first obtained the consent of the trustees.
Two trustees must complete and sign the prescribed Form V to be filed in the Deeds Office. The amendment will become valid on the day on which the amended rule has been filed in the scheme's file in the Deeds Office.
