How to Force Your Building to Start Repair Work After Paying a Special Assessment

If you’ve paid a €5,000 special assessment for leak repairs but the homeowners’ association is ignoring you, you have clear legal steps to take.

  • Send a formal demand letter to the board and administrator, citing the approved resolution and the amount you’ve paid, and set a reasonable deadline for starting the work.
  • If there’s no response, file a complaint with the local court to compel the community to fulfill its contractual obligations, which may include requesting a judicial order to begin the repairs.
  • Consider requesting the return of your contribution if the works are abandoned, but be prepared to prove the board’s breach of duty.

Act promptly to protect your property and avoid further damage.
