    Right to vote at AGM

    You need to get your hands on the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the management company and see what it say about the rights of members in arrears. Get the agent to send you a copy of it and see what it says as a starting point. Go from there.

    Names on company bank account

    You can't have micro-management of your accounts by a non-director. Not practical and you are under no obligation to do so Directors can see the accounts and have to present accounts to all at AGM once a year. That will have to be good enough for him or else he needs to get himself elected.

    Shareholding in an OMC

    I don't think so. The management company is a legal entity that holds the shares. Not any individuals. Could be completely off on this. Interesting question

    Changing management company without telling home owners

    It's unlikely the Management Company is changing. It is more likely your management Agent is changing and that is not really a big deal. It should be done every few years in my opinion. Its like moving from one electric supply to another every year, a good idea to drive value. Anyway you...

    Parking housing estate

    This is the crooks of the matter really. Does your property include the use of 2 parking spaces or the use of 2 specific allocated parking spaces? Unfortunately in the development I'm in the apartments are permitted to use 2 parking spaces each, but not allocated. It wasn't an issue for years...

    mud act query

    You only have to ask members if you are dipping into the sinking fund. If you have the money in the service account, you can spend it as you like, once the directors are in agreement of course

    Key Post Do you want to do something about the way your apartment development is being managed?

    Rats nesting in a vacant property

    The management agent should just keep chasing the owner. However you are entitled to the owners address. Just an FYI, under the Companies Act any member of the OMG is entitled to the members list (Name and Address only, not phone or email). You could write to them yourself and explain the issue...

    Security Cameras in an Apartment Complex

    I don't believe this would fall under domestic use. Common areas fall under the management company. I don't think he wants to install them on his own property with them leaking onto common areas. Sounds like he wants to install them in the common areas so therefore not domestic. Maybe the...

    Security Cameras in an Apartment Complex

    The management company board would need to approve it. Even a self managed complexe, you should have a board, right? And they shouldn't approved it in its current proposal. I would think that CCTV would need a proper Data Protection Policy behind it first and a trusted 3rd party should only have...

    Management Company, Owner Occupiers and Local Authority Tenants

    To be honest I don't think the AGM is the place to raise or discuss an individual item. I think you should give the management agent a call and discuss your concerns. A lot could be happening behind the scenes on this that you may be unaware of.

    Can management fees be different for Owner Occupiers than property investors

    I own a house in the estate, not an apartment so I don't have a lease to check. This has caused so much confusion over the years. I own my house and the land its on, unlike an apartment owner, who owns his/her apartment but has a 1000 year lease on the land. Therefore only apartment owners have...

    Can management fees be different for Owner Occupiers than property investors

    @_OkGo_ You are probably right, it could be seen as not being equitable. We do currently offer a 10% discount for people who pay on time so there is a precedent on discounts. The local councils are doing similar via the NPPR charge of €200 a year on no principle properties so if they can...

    Can management fees be different for Owner Occupiers than property investors

    I live in a housing estate that is not taken in charge so we have a management company. The management company directors are all residents and they do tremendous work to the benefit of the residents of the estate. The original builder is gone. The management company do employ a management agent...
