Over-legislation upsets body corporate groups

Tenants will enjoy greater rights under the Unit Titles Amendment Bill 2008, with hearings officially set to commence next Tuesday (31 March 2009).

The controversial Bill aims to give unit owners, tenants and managing agents of body corporate properties better consumer protection and access to faster, cheaper and less-legalistic dispute resolution through the newly founded ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (ACAT).
