Our president and administrator have decided that each group of owners must pay for the damage under their part of the buildings.
In a neighbouring urbanisation with very similar problems their administator advised that under the Law of Horizontal property the the beams, pillars and other supporting structures under the affected units were in fact "communal" and the whole urbanisation took responsibilty for the repairs using the "cuota" system to allocate costs.
I would be very grateful if you could give your opinion as to which version of the law is correct.
