The Annotated Singapore Building Maintenance and Strata Management Act provides section by section annotations of a popular and consistently moving body of law. 

Since its passing, the Act has undergone a comprehensive review that started in 2012 and resulted in the Building Maintenance and Strata Management (Amendment) Act 2017. Key amendments made are those that deal with the definition of “common property”, installation of safety equipment by subsidiary proprietors, representation in council, procedures in relation to general meetings and resolutions required for certain decisions, all of which are concerns and matters frequently encountered by subsidiary proprietors, occupiers, council members and managing agents.

The objective of this annotated guide to the Act is to provide laypersons and industry practitioners with information and insights into the legislative intent and interpretation of the provisions of the Act. Each provision of the Act provides a background with explanation and guidance on its interpretation. References have been made to landmark decisions of the Courts or Strata Titles Boards, and for some provisions, answers to frequently asked questions and illustrations have been provided.
