PADDOCKS PRESS - MARCH 2008 ISSUE

 

The following three questions were answered in the March issue of  Paddocks Press.  To sign up for Paddoks Press visit  www.paddocks.co.za  and read the informative answers to these questions.

 

1.   An owner has extended his section by enclosing a common property stoep.  He has since

      obtained permission by special resolution, but now wants to sell without the extension having

      been registered at the Deeds Registry.  Should we issue the levy clearance certificate or

      withhold it?

 

2.  Can the Trustees implement interest on overdue levies or must this decision be taken at an

     AGM?  Are we limited by the National Credit Act as to what rate of interest we can decide

     to charge?

 

3.  We need to upgrade our security access for the complex by installing a new remote system for

     the gates.  If we go this route every occupant will need to buy new remotes for operating the

     gate, but they don't want to and every time we suggest this a lot of the old people vote against it.

     Is it possible for us, the trustees, to overrule them and go ahead with the planned upgrade for the

     benefit of all occupants in the complex?
