Frequently Asked Questions

How are condominium owners' assembly decisions taken?

Under Condominium Law arts. 30-32, meetings require a majority of both owners and land-share ratios. The ordinary meeting is held at least once a year, an extraordinary meeting at the request of the manager or one third of the owners. Unless the Law provides otherwise, decisions need a majority of owners and shares; some matters require qualified majority or unanimity. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.

How is enforcement pursued for management dues?

Under Condominium Law art. 20, the manager may initiate enforcement against owners who fail to pay management dues; late-payment penalty up to 5% per month may be claimed. Unpaid dues create a statutory lien and, if necessary, recovery may be sought by sale of the independent unit. The outcome depends on the specific evidence and the court's assessment; consult an attorney for your individual situation.
