Condominium & Residential Development Law
Large residential developments and condominium properties raise legal issues that go beyond individual ownership. The way a development is managed — from decision-making and shared spaces to common expenses, resident relations and third-party contracts — depends on a legal framework that must function in practice over time.
DMG Hukuk provides ongoing legal advice to the management of condominium properties and residential developments. We assist with management plans and decisions, relations with owners and residents, contracts with service providers, recovery of common expenses and disputes arising from the day-to-day operation of the development.
Management Plans & Legal Framework
Drafting, reviewing and amending management plans, together with advice on the rules governing the management and operation of condominium properties and residential developments.
Owners’ Meetings & Management Decisions
Advice on meeting notices, agendas, voting, resolutions and other aspects of decision-making by owners and management.
Owner & Resident Relations
Advice on the rights and responsibilities of owners and residents, the use of individual units and disputes arising within the development.
Common Areas
Advice on the use, alteration and protection of common areas, including unauthorised use or interference and related disputes.
Common Expenses & Collections
Advice and representation in the assessment and recovery of common expenses, advance payments and other amounts payable by owners.
Management & Service Contracts
Drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts for maintenance, repairs, supplies, construction works and other services required in the operation of a development.
Management Decision Disputes
Advice and representation in disputes concerning the validity, challenge or implementation of decisions taken by owners or management.
Employment & External Relations
Advice on employment matters and dealings with public authorities, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and service providers involved in the operation of a development.
Legal issues within a large residential development rarely exist in isolation. A decision concerning one owner, a shared area or a particular expense may have implications for the wider management of the development and for decisions taken in the future.
For that reason, our work in this area is built around continuity. We support management in its day-to-day decisions and legal relationships, helping to establish sound practices before disputes arise and providing representation when they do.
