79. What if the negligence of administrator produced an interior damage in my house? You can of course claim against him or his professional indemnity insurance 80. Do Property Administrators need indemnity insurance by Law? Many professional associations of Property Administrators require it for membership but not all. It is not a strict legal obligation though very advisable. Community should not hire anyone without that Insurance 81. Can the administrator force the community to stay in charge for 5 years? Of course not. These positions are always annual and just renewable by election of owners. 82. What is the consent we need to change administrator? 3/5 of owners who represent 3/5 of shareholders 83. Can I pay my Community fees by Bank transference? The way of payment is determined by the Community of owners. If you want to propose a change on it, you can ask the President for that point to be discussed in the next general meeting. 84. A lawsuit against owners in default is in Courts without that being decided by the Community. Can we challenge it? Yes, of course you can, if you are one of the defaulters, as you will have to answer the lawsuit, you can expose it in the plea. If not, I would just encourage you to contact any of the defaulters for him to argue this as a response to the claim. The use of that proceeding needs: - Previous certification of the agreement by the Meeting of Owners. - Approval of the liquidation of the debt with the Community of owners by the Secretary - Approval of the President - Correct notification to affected owners. 85. Do we need a Lawyer or a Procurator for these? No, you do not. But it is advisable.
