The Impact of Legislative Changes on Building Management in Hong Kong
The unique system adopted for the co-ownership of multi-storey buildings in Hong Kong can be, inter alia, characterized by each unit owner who has an equal and undivided share as a tenant-in-common with other co-owners of the leasehold estate over land. He has an exclusive right of possession of his unit; but he shares the common parts of the land with all other co-owners of the building. A lot of lawsuits mainly stemmed from the disputes between the building managers and the owners over the maintenance of common areas of the buildings, the contributions to management deficit and the conflicting interests of the owners. This paper will analyze the latest legislative changes to the principal legislation, Building Management Ordinance, including the Building Management (Amendment) Ordinance 2000 (Ord. No. 69 of 2000) and the recent consultation paper on the proposed further amendments to the principal legislation published by the Hong Kong Government in May 2003 with a view to evaluate the resulting impact on building management in Hong Kong.
