HOW
LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAR MY CASE?
Normally, a case will be heard within 4 to 6 weeks and has to
be concluded within 6 months, unless the Minister approves an
extension of time. Much depends on how prepared
you are when you submit your application. For example, if
you apply for an order that your neighbour on the upper floor
carry out repairs to stop water leaking into your apartment,
you may need a surveyor or other expert to visit the premises
and give an opinion on the cause of and steps to be taken
to rectify the problem. You may also need to have a contractor's
quotation ready to assist the panel in gauging how much it
will cost you to repair the damage to your apartment caused
by the leakage. If you are ready with this information, the
Board will be able to hear your case earlier.
HOW DO I APPLY TO THE BOARD FOR AN ORDER?
You may make the application yourself and represent yourself or you may engage a lawyer or ask someone (whom the Board must allow) to represent you. If you do not intend to engage a lawyer, you may nonetheless want to at least obtain legal advice first so that you proceed under the correct section and use the correct form.
To apply, you will need to lodge with the Registrar of the Strata Titles Boards the appropriate form and
4 copies thereof, together with the fee of $500.
After submitting the application at the Strata Titles Boards,
the applicant must serve a copy of the application on the
respondent(s).

in order, the Registrar will issue directions to all relevant parties to proceed with
