A Body Corporate is a legal entity made up of the registered unit owners that oversee the management and maintenance of communal areas (common property) within a sectional title scheme.
A Body Corporate draws up a set of rules that apply to the unit owners and tenants occupying the units within the scheme, outlining the management of the scheme and the expected conduct of the occupants in accordance with the 1986 Sectional Titles Act. The Body Corporate also enforces these rules.
