Legislation Governing Jointly Owned Buildings
The Cyprus Immovable Property Law (Chapter 224) and the 1993 Amending Law (6(1)/1993) regulate the rights and obligations of jointly owned buildings. Below are key provisions in detail:
- Definition of Jointly Owned Buildings: All buildings with at least five units are classified as jointly owned buildings. Buildings with two to four units may also be considered jointly owned if requested by the owners and approved by the relevant authority. Separate buildings on a shared property may be classified as jointly owned.
- Mandatory Insurance Coverage: All jointly owned buildings must be insured for an amount corresponding to their full replacement value. Insurance covers damages from fire, natural disasters, structural failurstres, and other unforeseen risks. The management committee is responsible for ensuring compliance with this requirement.
- Formation and Duties of the Management Committee: Every jointly owned building must have a management committee responsible for overseeing common area and common owned area maintenance, financial obligations, and insurance compliance. The committee may sue and be sued for matters concerning building management. The committee must ensure that all owners contribute fairly to maintenance and insurance costs.
- Regulations Governing Common Property Use: Unit owners must not use their apartments for illegal activities or cause nuisances. Any modifications to balconies, terraces, and external walls must have approval from the management committee. The color, design, and external appearance of units cannot be altered without approval. Owners must not obstruct common areas such as hallways and entrances.
- Obligations of Unit Owners: Unit owners must pay their share of maintenance fees and insurance premiums. Owners must not store flammable materials or anything that creates excessive odor, smoke, or dust. Noise levels must be kept reasonable to avoid disturbances to neighbors. All necessary repairs and maintenance within private units must be completed to prevent damage to the common property.
- Dispute Resolution and Legal Actions: If a unit owner fails to comply with regulations, the management committee has the legal right to take action. Legal measures may include warnings, fines, and, if necessary, court proceedings. General meetings of unit owners must be held to elect the management committee and discuss issues affecting the building.
