What you ask most often.

40 % of all votes, in person or by proxy. Our statutes allow a substitute meeting (Art. VI (16)) with a 40 % quorum, convened by the same invitation as the regular one. A majority of the building is not required.

You pick one of the candidates, or we assign one. We spread proxies among several people so the votes do not depend on one person.

Yes. Paying is not agreement that the billing is correct. You can request supporting documents and complain of incorrectness.

Removing the chair, electing new leadership and amending the statutes need only a simple majority of those present. No agenda item needs a qualified majority.

We separate two roles now held by one company. The statutory body will be an elected board, overseen by a supervisory committee; management (accounting, technical, operations) will be provided by a management firm chosen by the meeting.

Yes. Owners with more than a quarter of votes may request a meeting under § 1207 Civil Code and Art. VI (5) of the statutes; the convener has 30 days. If not, they may convene it themselves under Art. VI (6) at the association’s cost. That is exactly our procedure.

Signing the proxy costs you nothing. The cost of convening (invitations, printing, possibly a hall) is borne by the association under Art. VI (6) – thousands of crowns. Preparation (website, proxies, e-signatures, correspondence) is paid by the initiators themselves and not invoiced.

The meeting decides. The proposal is agenda item 5, in two options: CZK 40 or CZK 20 per unit per month for each board member. The supervisory committee is item 6: unpaid, or CZK 10 per unit per month for each of its members.

None of us knows today and we will not make it up. The comparison of offers put before the meeting will decide.

Under the Civil Code a notarial deed is not required to adopt or amend an owners’ association’s statutes, as confirmed by high-court case law (Prague 7 Cmo 79/2015; Olomouc 8 Cmo 202/2016). Officially certified signatures may be needed for the register entry – tens of crowns per signature.

Then a court may decide the items duly on the agenda (§ 1209 (3) Civil Code, Art. VI (12) of the statutes). We want to avoid that; courts are slow and the building needs a decision now.

Against the current land-registry extract, so that nobody who owns nothing here can sign a proxy.

Neither. Every claim on this site rests on a document, file number or written third-party statement. Where we only have a hypothesis, we say so.

The site is in four languages and we send the proxy in the language you choose. Webinars are held in Czech; questions are also accepted in writing in English, Ukrainian and Russian.

Revoke the proxy with one click via the link in the confirmation e-mail, or by writing to [email protected]. We handle it promptly, before the meeting.

It is not compulsory. But simple maths applies: the fewer owners take part, the more weight those who come have. Votes are by share, so every flat counts.
