Starting 2026 Strong: Your Sectional Title Scheme Health Check
A Practical Guide for Trustees and Owners
January is behind us, and many schemes are finding their rhythm again after the holiday slowdown. Now's the perfect time to take stock, tighten up processes and set your scheme up for a solid year ahead. Good planning protects your finances, keeps maintenance on track and helps everyone in the community feel confident about where things are heading.
The Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act (STSMA) gives us the framework, and this checklist makes it practical and manageable.
Solar, Inverters and Backup Power in Sectional Title Living: What the Law Allows
Backup power has become essential for South Africans, but in a sectional title scheme you cannot install whatever you like. Your choices affect the building, the insurance and the people who live around you. This is why the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act (STSMA) sets out strict rules for alterations that involve electrical work or common property.
Here is the simple, honest breakdown.
Renovations and Alterations in Sectional Title Living: What You Can and Cannot Do
Renovating your home can be exciting, especially when you want to personalise your space or improve its value. However, if you live in a sectional title scheme, there are important legal steps to follow before starting any project. The Sectional Titles Act (STA) and the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act (STSMA) set out specific rules about what owners can do within their units, what needs Body Corporate approval, and how improvements to common property must be handled.
Understanding these rules helps you avoid unnecessary disputes, fines, or even legal action.
