Help please re urbanisation rule liability

Hi

I should be grateful if anyone can tell me how the law stands regarding the following:

I am thinking of renting our part of my house.  In the event that my lodger does not obey Community rules,

would like to know whether or not, I as owner, would I be liable for their actions.

Many thanks

Ann C 

Answer in a nutshell.....................YES.

Hi Karensun Thanks for your reply, you sound very sure that is the case, do you have legal knowledge?

No Ann, I have no legal qualification but my husband is President of our Community.

If you look at the Law of Horezontal Property you will find that the owner of a property is responsible for his/her tenants actions.

No disrespect to anyone but if your looking for an answer with 100% legal knowledge on this sort of thing or anything then BB are not the place to look for one.

Hammer 100.........................if you look on EOS you can download the Law of Horizontal Property with it's English translation.

Every owner should have knowledge of this as it will explain what you can and cannot do etc etc.

Of course, if you need 100% legal knowledge, you would have to go to a Lawyer, I would not dispute this, however Ann asked where I had my knowledge from and I told her. It comes from living here 8 years and the last 4 with my husband as President of our Urb.

Ann's question was  pretty simple to respond to and I did, which is what EOS is all about.

edited for spelling.

Karensun I didnt mean any offence I was more directing towards the op. You will find that some people will assume whatever they hear on a BB is correct. I did see that you stated that you had no legal knowledge and can work out you were just helping someone out and as you have lived here 8 years then you I am sure you are aware of alot more than someone who hasnt and as your Husband is President of your Urb then he too probably has alot more knowledge on these matters than most of us.

The way the op asked "do you have legal knowledge?" then you would assume they were looking for a legal answer. Liability is a funny and tricky thing......17 years of being involved in it taught me that.

EOS is about this I am not disputing that, have not been a member long and found some very informative information and some tips/advice from members already.

ok. No offence taken and I take your point.

 Many thanks to both you Karnesun and Hammer 100. I much appreciate your interest.

I have now looked up The Horizontal Law which states:
