Information for co-owners about management and legal regulations.
Real estate management is an activity that deals with the management and maintenance of real estate with the primary goal of preserving and increasing the value of the property. Real estate is the most valuable part of an individual's and community's assets, so such activity is performed with the greatest professional care for the safety and quality of housing, and ultimately the market value of the property itself.
Owners of separate parts of the building (apartments, business premises, garages, etc.) are at the same time co-owners (joint owners) of the entire plot on which the residential building is located, as well as the common parts and devices of the building.
The activity of building management and maintenance is now regulated by the new Act on Management and Maintenance of Buildings (NN 152/2024), which brings significant changes compared to previous practice.
This act defines in more detail the obligations and responsibilities of managers, co-owner representatives, and co-owners themselves, with the aim of more efficient maintenance and preservation of the building.
The inter-owner agreement is the fundamental document by which co-owners regulate their mutual relations. Article 36 defines key provisions on management, rights, and obligations of co-owners.
It is important that all co-owners are familiar with the provisions of the inter-owner agreement because it binds all co-owners, regardless of whether they personally signed it (if it was signed by the majority by share of ownership).
The new Ordinance on House Rules (NN 86/2025) prescribes rules of conduct in the building that all tenants and visitors are required to adhere to.
