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.
