They wanted to give chairmen of house councils new powers

We are talking about powers of attorney from the owners for the right to represent the interests of

A group of deputies of the lower house of parliament proposed to facilitate the judicial protection of the interests of the owners of the premises of an apartment building. The bill introduced by them assumes that the chairman of the council of the house will be able to represent the interests of neighbors, without each time collecting powers of attorney confirming that he has been given such authority.

As it became known to “MK”, ​​the parliamentarians propose to make sure that the right to speak in court on behalf of all owners of the premises of the house is granted once and is valid until the end of the chairman’s powers. Already now he can get the right to defend the interests of neighbors in court in all cases related to the management of this house and the provision of public services. But in order for it to be granted to him, he must collect the powers of attorney of most of them. And this is often not easy. Therefore, lawmakers propose to amend the Labor Code, which will allow empowering the chairman on the basis of a single decision of the general meeting of owners. This, the authors of the draft law note, will expand the possibilities of the chairman for effective judicial protection of neighbors.
