Unit Titles Act 2010

164 Exclusion of powers of forfeiture, re-entry, and distress
  • (1) After the deposit of a unit plan to which this Part applies, and until the cancellation of the plan, no right of forfeiture or re-entry (whether for non-payment of rent or otherwise) is exercisable by the lessor.

    (2) If the owner of any unit becomes liable under section 163 to pay to the lessor any sum, the lessor may enforce payment of the sum in the same manner as he or she would have been able to if the sum had been rent in arrears from the date on which the liability of that owner to pay arose and that owner had been the lessee under the lease.

    (3) Nothing in subsection (2) entitles, empowers, or authorises the lessor to forfeit or determine that owner’s interest under the lease.
