Paying levies on time is the obligation most owners know. It is not the only one. Owning a section in a sectional title scheme carries duties set out in the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act and in the scheme's own rules, and they apply to every owner.

Owners are responsible for maintaining their own section and keeping it in good repair. They must comply with the scheme's conduct and management rules, whether the matter is pets, parking, noise, or alterations. They must allow reasonable access to their section when it is needed to maintain or repair common property or services. And they must not alter common property, or an exclusive use area, without the proper authorisation first.

None of this is meant to catch owners out. Knowing where an owner's responsibility begins and ends is what keeps a scheme running without avoidable disputes. Sandak-Lewin Trust manages schemes so these obligations are clear to owners and applied consistently across the scheme.

Scheme rules, covering everything from pets to parking to cameras, are only enforceable if they are reasonable and applied consistently to every owner. Rules that are inconsistently enforced, overly restrictive or adopted without the correct process are vulnerable to being challenged and set aside.

This matters more than it may seem. A rule that cannot be enforced offers no real protection to the scheme, regardless of how it reads on paper. Drafting and reviewing scheme rules properly, and applying them evenly across all owners, is what makes them durable.

Sandak-Lewin Trust reviews scheme rules as part of our management service.

Property management will always be a people business.

David Rebe, CEO of Sandak-Lewin Trust, explains why the human element still matters. Technology keeps improving how we manage schemes, but strong relationships remain central. From carefully matching portfolio managers with the right schemes to being there when trustees and owners need real support.

Technology makes us more efficient. Relationships make the difference.

CCTV is one of the most common flashpoints in sectional title living. Owners want security. Neighbours want privacy. Trustees are caught between the two.

The starting point is process. Cameras on common property require a proper scheme decision, not an individual owner’s initiative. Even a camera installed within a section can create problems if it is aimed at a neighbour’s space or at common areas. And once footage exists, someone is responsible for how it is stored, who may access it, and what it may be used for.

Schemes that work through authorisation, placement and footage handling before installation avoid the disputes that follow when cameras go up first and questions come later. Sandak-Lewin Trust guides trustees through decisions like these.

A strong reserve fund is key to the long-term financial health of any scheme.

Angus Sutherland explains why reserve levies matter, helping bodies corporate save for major maintenance projects and capital expenses before they become urgent.

At Sandak-Lewin Trust, we assist with establishing and managing Maintenance Reserve Funds, levy collection, and ongoing compliance, so schemes can budget with confidence.

Every well-run scheme stands on its records. The rules, meeting minutes, resolutions, financial statements, maintenance plans, and insurance details document how the scheme is governed.

These records matter at exactly the moments schemes can least afford gaps. When a unit is sold, when a decision is questioned, when an audit is due, or when a dispute arises, the paper trail is what settles the matter. A resolution that was passed but never properly recorded offers little protection to anyone.

Sandak-Lewin Trust maintains structured, retrievable records for every scheme we manage, so the answer to “can we show that?” is always yes.

Clear conduct rules make a real difference to how a scheme is managed.

Justin Josias shares how updating the conduct rules at a scheme in Kenilworth has helped create greater clarity, improve the way disputes are handled, and support the overall value of the scheme.

Good governance protects both the community and the property.

As Cape Town’s rainy season winds down, the evidence is there for schemes willing to look. Damp patches, stained ceilings, blistered paint, and pooling water all point to where common property needs attention.

A post-winter inspection turns that evidence into a plan. The dry months ahead are the right window for waterproofing, exterior painting, and structural repairs, work that cannot be done properly in wet conditions. Schemes that assess now and book contractors early get the work done before the next rainy season. Schemes that wait often find the same problems back, worse, the following winter.

This should be standard practice: post-winter assessments, logged findings, and maintenance scheduled for the season that suits the work.
