Condominium administrators must provide meeting minutes within a legally defined period or risk penalties
Executive summary: A property owner consulted El País’ housing advice column seeking the deadline for a condominium administrator to send the minutes of a March owners’ meeting after the administrator refused to provide them. The question underscores the legal duty of property administrators to deliver meeting minutes, highlighting potential penalties for non‑compliance and the importance of transparency for owners.
Who is involved: The inquiring property owner, the condominium administrator refusing to deliver the minutes, and the legal advisory service Legálitas that supplies the answer via El País.
Likely next: If the administrator does not deliver the minutes within the legally prescribed period (generally 30 days), the owner can file a formal complaint with the provincial property registry or pursue legal action to enforce compliance.
A reader asked El País’ housing advice column how long an administrator has to deliver the minutes of an owners’ meeting held in March after refusing to send them. Under Spain’s Ley de Propiedad Horizontal, administrators are required to supply copies of meeting minutes upon request, typically within a short statutory period, and failure to comply can lead to administrative sanctions. The query highlights the enforcement gap between legal obligations and actual practice in residential property management.
