Trustees MUST insure common property at the replacement value thereof and use claim payouts to reinstate to same. Insuring one duet doesn’t absolve you from the reinstatement costs next door. Your own an undivided share therein. DuetSS raises options.

If the pool is built on common property it is the body corporate’s pool. If the body corporate didn’t comply with the by laws and regulations namely by have the plans updated and approved and did not fence off the pool, then the body corporate carries the risk.

All property external to the section, wall, floors and roofs belong to body corporate. It isn’t your roof to repair or wall to paint. The members must carry the cost thereof equal to their participation quota. Sounds unfair – DuetSS raises and manages this.

Duet members aren’t elected, they are trustees. All owners are members and all members are Trustees. Trustees in turn must manage and administer the body corporate to the benefit of all. I did not know won’t work. DuetSS enables you to live as independently as possible.

That’s precisely why CSOS was established. Any person in a community scheme may lodge an application to the CSOS if such person is a party to or is materially affected by a dispute. And it costs nothing. You will be forced to pay. DuetSS avoids this.

Duets are Sectional Title Schemes and must register with CSOS. If you don’t Compliance Notices can be sent and fines raised. Without DuetSS large complex rules apply namely two, bank accounts, annual audits the lot. Compliant Duets are worth more. Buyers don’t want the cost of what you did not. DuetSS adds value.
