Tenants who create too much smoke when barbecuing their lamb chops or sausages on unit balconies could soon face fines of up to $2200 under proposed changes to strata laws.

The same goes for smokers if the smoke from their cigarettes or cigars drifts into neighbouring units.

The changes count among more than 90 amendments to strata laws introduced to the NSW Parliament on Wednesday, including a controversial provision that would allow entire unit blocks to be sold to developers if 75 per cent of owners agree.

Under current strata laws, residents are not allowed to create a "nuisance or hazard" that interferes with another person enjoying their lot or common property.
