名词

新加坡土地管理局(Singapore Land Authority)为多层建筑的个别单位签发的一种地产权证书。又称分层地产。

DEFINITION

Noun

A certificate of title issued by the Singapore Land Authority for individual units of multi-storey buildings. Also known in Mandarin as "分层地产".

由来

英语“Strata Title”的意译。
澳大利亚新南威尔士州(New South Wales)最早在1961年定下分层地契法令。
新加坡随后在1967年定制地契（分层）法令（Land Titles (Strata) Act）。
此法令颁发之前，多层建筑的单位业主使用租赁(leaseholds)或者共同租约(tenancy in common)的形式行契。
根据地契（分层）法令，持有人与其他的持有人共享整栋建筑的地契，让个别业主独立地持有各自单位的地契，即把建筑维修的责任和权益交在所有业主手里。

ETYMOLOGY

The Mandarin term “分层地契” is a paraphrase of the English term “strata title”.
Strata title legislation was first introduced in New South Wales, Australia in 1961.
Singapore subsequently introduced the Land Titles (Strata) Act in 1967.
Prior to the introduction of the Act, units in multi-storey buildings were held in the form of leaseholds or tenancy in common.
According to the Land Titles (Strata) Act, the land title of an entire building is divided among strata title holders, allowing individual unit owners to independently hold the title of their respective units. This means that the responsibilities and rights with regards to building maintenance are in the hands of the owners.

例句

丽敦豪邸（D’Leedon）两个底层单位的居民因遇到“高楼抛物”问题，向公寓管理委员会要求装置遮盖，不被允许。居民将申请交由分层地契局定夺后，当局考虑到孩童安全，裁定居民可装置可移动遮棚。（《联合早报》，4/7/2019）

SAMPLE SENTENCE

The residents of two ground-floor units in D’Leedon had encountered issues with “killer litter” and had sought permission with the management corporation (MC) of the estate to install awnings. After the initial refusal by the MC, the residents applied to the Strata Titles Board for arbitration. Considering that the safety of children was at stake, the Board ruled that residents could install retractable awnings. (Lianhe Zaobao, 4/7/2019)
