  • Community Rules

    Hi there,

    We have recently taken ownership of our apartment and a Community is being set up first first time.

    We are unsure what type of rules / guidelines we should be considering.

    Can anyone give us a few ideas on the 'Key Ones'.

    Many Thanks

    community rules

    hi, the rules will cover all sorts, from telling what colour you can paint the grills ect, and on our community they kicked up a fuss on where some people were putting their air con units, also they will decide on what the fees are going to be, and how they will be paid, pool rules, and anything else that will effect you as a owner, nick

      If you are not going to appoint professional administrators it is probably worth buying an English printed book stating the relevant laws etc. Bargain Books has them.

        community rules

        Hi Diegohind

        I have been our Community President for the last four years and am still learning daily new aspects to the position.

        Have you got a President, and Administrator? How many properties (units) are there in your Urbanisation and do you have lifts, green areas and a Communal pool as all these make the charges higher.

        You will, as we and many other new Communities are, "given" the services of an Administrator, gardener, cleaner and pool man by the builder. Mostly you will pay through the nose for these and services will be poor, I hate to tar them all with one brush - can anyone out there tell me any different.
        When is your first A.G.M. and have you an agenda if so I or someone on here maybe able to give you a few pointers.

            Most of ours are pretty basic, no lilo's in the pools and no under 8's in the pool on their own (elf and safety), respect your neighbours, no loud music after 12, speed limit round the urb etc. Seems to work pretty well. If you have an administrator (well advised) they will tell you the basic ones and if you want to add any no problems. Everything should be agreed at your 1st agm including your running costs. The only thing I will say is try to have a contingency fund, you don't know when something crops up that you have to pay for.

                Community rules

                A lot will depend on the type of Community you have. Have you gardens, lifts and a pool? If you have all then it will be things like no ball games, no pets in Communal area´s. Pool to open ? am close ?pm. no children without adults in pool, shower before using pool, no glass or crockery in pool, no diving, ball games or rough play, no smoking or pets etc.
                General area, no building without consent, no changes of colour of property, no awnings without consent, aircon units in certain positions and similar with ariels, Barbies may be restricted if you have bloques of flats. Community fees to be paid by certain dates, no parking in walkways, all owners have to give current contact details to Administrator. Owners responible for guests behaviour, noise to be down between 2pm and 5pm (we have Spanish owners) no noise between 2am & 8am. Oh the list could be endless, depending on where you are some Communities also ban pets of any description!
                You will also need to set a budget for the next year, and as mentioned include a fund for emergencies, we also put a bit aside to cover for the non payers of which we have several!

                    From our experience from when we first set up our community. First get rid of anything the builder set up IE. the Administrator he appoints. any gardeners , pool maintenance etc. Vote in your own president and administrator get 3 quotes for for each of the maintenance contracts you think you need. Elect a comity of about 6 to meet monthly to discuss and act on any suggestions or problems that will arise. And the best of luck you will need it

                          If you dont like the rules you can always challenge them at one of your meetings.
                          those rules are in place because a majority of residents accepted them at the time.

                            That is terrible the pool belongs to all of the community and that includes you, our pool is open 8 to 10 every day of the year people swim at least from April to October, every owner has a key, you can change these rules at the AGM.
                            Good luck
