Comunidad de Propietarios: Avoid Problems with Your Neighbours in Spain
Where can I find a copy of the Statutes for a community of owners, written in English.
Comunidad de Propietarios: Avoid Problems with Your Neighbours in Spain
I am coming back to a previous posting (Dec. 9th 2011): Which quorum is to apply, if the statutes are raising the hurdles against the HPA?
For building a swimming pool the horizontal property asks in Art. 17 for a 3/5 of shares represented in favour.
Our community statutes say: "No owner can demand new installations, services or improvements that are not required for the adequate maintenance and habitation of the building, except if agreed by owners representing two thirds of the quotas."
Am I right, if I presume, the law here gives just a minimum standard of minority protection and every community is free to raise the standard.
So the quorum asked by the statutes has to be reached?

At this years EGM our President attended for the first time in 7 years. Prior to the meeting my wife asked how often the trees within the community were trimmed. We have one tree in front of our 2nd floor apartment that has been trimmed twice in the 7 years we have owned the apartment as have other trees generally in the community.
However, at the EGM the President gave a lecture that we cannot expect our views - from windows or terraces to be retained and put a vote to the community that no one has a right to a view. The Spanish neighbors usually back the president ( absent or not) so the vote - mostly by proxy - was passed. THis has led to neighbours having no view from their windows - but they can open their shutters but only if trees are cut to allow them to open but not view. To me this is ludricous as for 7 years we have no problem. I asked why there is a problem of the President but got no response. Surely this is simply crazy.
We get on well with everyone in the community and just find this childish.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Peter

Hi, I live in and own a apartment in Mallorca. This is mainly residential, but some owners rent out to holidaymakers, which I know is a grey area. My immediate neighbour (Spanish owned), rents her apartment every year to young workers. This is usually for a six month period. We have had a terrible few years of this. No sleep, loud music and being sworn at. We are not unreasonable, but all we ask for is a nights sleep. We have been to the police, but that does not seem to help. I want to know if her renting out is legal, I do not think she pays any taxes. I dont want to get nasty, but after nearly six months of no sleep I am worn out. Where do I stand?

Hello
My husband has brought two locals, We have had the communtiy charges but they dont show IVA. now we can claim the IVA back so got in touch with the communtiy office and asked them to send us a facture with a break down of IVA exempt and non exempt and a facture Number, they have told us that they wont do one. Now I did explain that if we were paying communtiy for 20 years and some of it had IVA in and we couldn't claim it back, we would be lossing a lot of money. Can anyone help please.
