In this article we will clarify the avenues available for enforcing by-laws, while highlighting who holds the reins when it comes to body corporate decision-making. What is a contravention notice?

The majority of tenancies run to the end date and beyond, but when a tenant or property owner’s circumstances change, the tenancy agreement may have to end earlier than expected.
