Conduct rules
Rules in a sectional-title or community scheme that regulate owner, occupier, and tenant conduct in the scheme.
Definition
Conduct rules should be checked against the registered or approved scheme rules, body corporate or HOA records, notices, meeting resolutions, CSOS correspondence, photos, complaints, penalties, and whether the rule was properly adopted and applied. The issue is often whether the rule exists, is enforceable, was applied consistently, and fits the facts.
In a South African legal context, conduct rules should not be treated as an isolated dictionary word. It usually sits inside a broader property law process, and that process can affect what documents are needed, which deadlines matter, and what next step is sensible.
