Written answers

Apartment complex management companies are constituted under the Companies Acts and are required to comply with the provisions of those Acts. The programme for Government undertook to consider the introduction of legislation to regulate the establishment and operation of apartment complex management companies. A Law Reform Commission working group is examining the law relating to condominiums. The aim is to develop proposals to provide a mechanism for dealing with issues which are already arising, or it is anticipated will arise, in existing and future multi-unit developments.

As part of its work, this group is considering the adequacy of consumer protection measures for apartment residents, including with regard to service charges. The group intends to produce a consultation paper early next year. This should provide a basis for considering possible measures and how they should be pursued.
