The Maltese Condominium Act requires that an administrator is appointed for each condominium, in order to represent the interests of all the members of the condominium.  A condominium is a block containing at least 4 units or apartments.  Further details may be obtained by downloading the law on the website, http://justice.gov.mt or requesting a copy of the Land Registry's guidance notes on the Condominium Act from the Land Registry itself.  

The law imposes specific rights and duties on the adminsitrator, including legal and judicial representation of the block in lawsuits, and the right to reimbursements made in the interests of the block, and the obligation to issue insurance policies covering the block.

The administrator has to be registered with the Land Registry and this will include a requirement to obtain a map issued by the same in order to indicate precisely the location of the block.

The administrator, in the name of the condominium, may opt to register any rules which the condominium is regulated by.  However the Condominium Act is rather generic and therefore little is required to regulate it other than the law itself.

The services of administrator are provided by this firm. Charges will depend on the work entailed and the condition of the block.  Such services would cover all matters of a general interest in the common part.  Any professional legal services provided over and above this will be negotiated separately.
