Well there is 1 lift working out of the 2 in A block, lights are back on in the stairways, and yesterday 2 ladies came in to clean the common areas.

Still problems regarding the pool area and general work on the complex but the main problem is people not paying into the maintenance account,therefore no cash for repair and maintenance. Any advice on how to force owners to pay into the fund?

[banjo]

Have they got contracts or have they run out and a new one not issued or a new one not negotiated. I am afraid that you cannot force people to pay,do the people not pay because it is over priced maintenance are they unhappy with the complex and the way its run you could ask a lot of people and get different answers from them all its a chicken and egg question we have the same problem with a multitude of reasons so I do not think there is a answer to your question good luck anyway and if a way is found to get all the owners to pay let me in on it and I will make you famous.

We have never had contracts in the 12 years since we purchased our apartment. Contracts have never been mentioned or discussed.

How much per square meter is being asked for, the size of your apt will define how much you pay and it should be in writing what the money is being spent on IE cleaning common area also swimming pool. When people buy an apt you should have signed a contract for maintenance with all this explained the contract works both ways the maintenance company are obliged to you to keep the complex in tip top working order.The fee for maintenance goes up a little every year depending on inflation.Sounds a bit of a mess to me and its no wonder people do not pay.

The new management team appear to be doing their very best to provide a better service that the old team. Photos provided of the work being carried out along with regular updates.

Changes regarding restricted access to the lifts and possibly the pool if owners do not pay towards the maintenance of the complex. This appears to be the latest idea by the management team, in an attempt to encourage people to contribute to the upkeep of the building etc. Time will tell if it will work or not.

Hi. I think that the only way for this new idea to work is to issue a permit for people that pay for the upkeep of the building I cannot see how the new system can be policed as I have said before in our own residence people have been stopped from using the pool and outside spaces but they still have not paid. Hope it works out for you keep the site informed.

I am going to be at the complex next week so will take some pics for you and give you an update

I went to Amadeus yesterday, no one around and nothing has been done with the pool yet. The first building the door was open and I think 1 lift was working, last block no lifts at all, no one around to ask about lifts or pool etc.
