Changing the maintenance company of a complex
Many owners in Bulgaria may not be aware that changes to the law in May 2009 gives them a choice of how the complex on which they own a property is maintained & managed.
The Condominium Ownership Management Act 2009 now means that owners now have a choice in the way their complex is managed & who manages it for them. This is a great advantage for owners who no longer have to put up with excessive fees & can focus on the areas of the complex which they want to spend on.
There are certain rules & regulations which must be followed by the owners to make the process legal & fair to all.
- A meeting must be called by at least one owner. However a fifth of all owners must agree to the meeting before it can go ahead.
- All owners must be formally invited to attend the meeting & this must include an agenda so that it’s clear what the meeting is about. This can be called with a minimum of 3 days notice.
- As many owners do not reside in their apartment & are unable to attend they can ask another owner to represent them. However each individual owner may represent a maximum of 3 others (a power of attorney may be required)
- A minimum of 67% of owners (or their representatives) need to be present for the meeting to go ahead.
- Each item is raised & voted on with a majority vote of 51% passing the item.
- If the owners pass the item & decide to go ahead with a new maintenance company they need to form a committee via an election process. The committee must contain an odd number of persons in excess of 1
When this has been done the committee can then proceed in choosing a company or individual to maintain their complex.
