This article discusses issues within Sri Lanka's condominium industry. It notes complaints from unit owners about construction defects and developers leasing common areas without permission. Laws governing condominiums need more enforcement power to protect buyers, as developers often sell units before proper registration and mislead buyers. While a regulator exists, it lacks regulations to implement its powers. For condominiums to be a safe investment, the law needs revision, regulations must be introduced, and the regulator strengthened through training.
