Hi Jim
I remember hearing of someone that had a similar problem with the management company of a Paris based development. Unfortunately, some management companies do not have a great reputation and especially with their payments to overseas owners. In that case the buyer contacted a Notaire who sorted the matter out fairly quickly. I believe that a management company not paying rents in accordance with leases can be reported which will affect their ability to get future licenses to manage Residence de Tourisme schemes. I believe the threat of reporting the company was enough of a stick to teach them manners. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Paidi
