Resident’s Handbook
MANAGEMENT CORPORATION STRATA TITLE PLAN 2345
Forward
The resident’s handbook is published to give Subsidiary Proprietors and their tenants, a clear guide on
the House Rules and By-Laws of Costa Rhu. The House Rules and By-Laws apply to all residents and
their guests.
Subsidiary Proprietors and Residents are also governed by the Building Maintenance and Strata
Management Act, 2004 (BMSMA), of Singapore. The Act, is a gazetted document governing Strata
Title properties in Singapore. Copies of the Act can be purchased from the Building Control Authority
(BCA). It gives a clear definition of law with regards to strata titled properties in
Singapore. Owners should be aware of their responsibilities, obligations and legal rights as strata
owners (subsidiary proprietors) and also the duties and legal rights of the Management Corporation
Strata Title Plan – in the case of Costa Rhu, MCST 2345. Tenants renting a unit should also compile.
Over the past 20 years, condominiums (strata title) have become a standard form of property
ownership in Singapore. There are more than 2600 Management Corporations and each has its own
set of house rules and guides; which are enforceable. Costa Rhu is no exception.
We hope this handbook will be a useful tool for everyone who owns and/or lives in this vibrant estate,
we call Costa Rhu.
