2. REFUSE AND PLUMBING DISPOSAL (1) An owner or occupier of a section shall: - (a) Maintain in a hygienic and dry condition, a receptacle for refuse within his section, his exclusive use area or on such part of the common property as may be authorised by the trustees in writing; (b) Ensure that before refuse is placed in such receptacle it is securely wrapped in a suitable strong plastic bag, and in the case of tins or other containers, completely drained, before it is placed in such plastic bag and such receptacle; (c) For the purpose of having the refuse collected, place such receptacle within the area and at the times designated by the trustees; (d) When the refuse has been collected, promptly return such receptacle to his section or other area referred to in sub-rule (1)(a). (2) An owner or occupier shall not allow any refuse for the disposal of which he is responsible, to remain in any entrance or passage, staircase or any other part of the common property, contrary to sub-rule (1). (3) An owner or occupier shall not allow the part of the section and/or common property over which he has rights of occupation to become unsanitary, or accumulated with rubbish, a danger to health or otherwise dirty or untidy. (4) Drain pipes in or from flats, (i.e. sink, basin, bath) shall be maintained, cleaned and unobstructed, and in the event of blockage etc., they shall immediately be attended to at the expense of the Owner. Please note that items such as newspaper, plastic, hair, cotton wool, condoms, sanitary towels, etc. are not to be placed in the toilet but should be placed in the garbage. Any problem, which appears to be a body corporate matter, has to be advised to the trustees as soon as possible and no work undertaken in this regard unless performed by a body corporate approved plumber. Should an owner require an electrician or a plumber for any maintenance work, the body corporate will have a list available as to an electrician/plumber who is familiar with the outlay of the building, its electrical lines, pipes, etc., and a first quote should be obtained from the electrician/plumber as per this list to minimise possible resultant damages. (5) An owner or occupier of a section shall comply with any other Directives issued by the trustees regarding refuse disposal. (6) Upon the breach of, or non-compliance with, the provisions of this Rule, the owner of the relevant section may become liable for a fine imposed in terms of Conduct Rule 18. |
