The Problem

Managing a scheme shouldn't feel like a second job

Trustees are volunteers. But the legal obligations — and personal liability — are very real.

Personal Liability

Trustees are personally liable for STSMA non-compliance. Missing an AGM or lapsing on insurance isn't just admin — it's a legal risk.

9 Things to Track

CSOS registration, quarterly levies, AGM deadlines, maintenance plans, reserve funds, insurance, financials, conduct rules, trustee records.

Levy Arrears Chaos

Chasing unpaid levies via WhatsApp is embarrassing and undocumented. Without a formal process, arrears compound and relationships sour.

Documents Everywhere

Insurance in email. Minutes on a hard drive. Sectional plans at the agent. New trustees inherit chaos and can't find anything.

StrataEasy covers the full lifecycle of scheme management — without the complexity of tools built for large enterprises.

SA Legislation

Built around South African law

Designed specifically for the South African legal framework — not a generic international tool retrofitted for local use.

STSMA

Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act

Governs how body corporates must be managed. Requires 10-year maintenance plans, reserve funds, AGMs within 60 days of financial year end, and audited financials. Trustees are personally liable for non-compliance.

CSOS Act

Community Schemes Ombud Service Act

All community schemes must register with CSOS. Quarterly levy payments are mandatory. CSOS handles disputes before courts — conciliation from R50. StrataEasy calculates CSOS levies per unit automatically.

Reserve Fund

STSMA Reserve Fund Formula

If reserves < 25% of annual levies: contribute at least 15% of admin fund. If 25–100%: match the annual repairs budget. If > 100%: no minimum required. StrataEasy tracks this for you.
