Tenant-landlord-body corporate triangle

A closer look at the relationship between these entities
|
| By Anton Kelly |
|
Many, many sectional title units are bought as investments and the sections occupied by tenants. Normally, the lease of a property gives rise to two relationships: the relationship between the landlord and the tenant, and the relationship between the tenant and the leased property.

In this article, Anton takes a look at the relationship between a tenant, their landlord and the body corporate. (reading time: ± 2 mins)
