Societies ask for this mainly to control who enters the building, confirm there are no unpaid dues on the flat, and book a service lift or loading bay for the move. Every society sets its own process in its own bylaws, so the paperwork, the notice period, and whether there is a fee all vary from one gated community to the next. Finding out what is missing at the gate is the expensive way to learn the checklist. We ask for the society's checklist before the move date, not on it.
