This is not a problem about insurance.

The problem is that I do not think the community funds should be used to pay for repairs to individual properties.

Funds should only be used for the areas which we have in common.The only common elements which we have are gardens and paths.

The previous president was fair to all.This new one has his own agenda.

Article 396 as I read it refers to an apartment building,not individual houses.

Have asked the administrator.Not satisfied with the reply.Was given a copy of horizontal law with a paragraph highlighted which refers to common elements within an apartment building.The paragraph in question is Additional Provision,point 1.

It refers to co-ownership of common elements within a building

 

It is this paragraph which they are using as the case for carrying out the work.Myself and a few of my friends are concerned as to where this will lead.

i have lived on this urbanisation for nine years and community funds have always only been spent only on community areas,not individual properties .

The previous president was always fair to everyone and only did work which was common to all and for the benefit of all.It is not fair for community money to be spent on individuals.

I think the new president has a different agenda.Looks as though this will have to be thrashed out at a community meeting.

Three properties on our community have had a repair done to cracks on pillars supporting the pergola.This has been paid for out of community funds.The owners of these properties have not been informed that this work has been carried out.

It has always been the case in the past that owners are responsible for keeping their property in good order.It actually states this in the horizontal law.

We have a new president who I am afraid will next come up with extensive repairs to his property to be paid for out of community funds.

Our previous president always ensured that work done was  fair to all. Community funds were only used for problems common to all and we did not have to pay for individual problems
