Commonhold law
Residential property law
Land can be divided into apartment ownership (ownership of apartments or buildings), partial ownership (ownership of areas and rooms not used for residential purposes) and joint ownership (ownership of the common building or property) by declaration of division.
Our firm represents both property managers and owners. We also advise administrative boards and property developers.
The commonhold law or residential property law (WEG or WoEig) regulates the property and the relationship between the owners.
For example, we advise on the following important legal issues:
Establishment for home ownership (§§ 3 and 8 WEG)
Interpretation and regulation of the declaration of division or community order
Legal relationships between apartment owners
Filing or defense against an action to challenge a decision
Housekeeping including enforcement, especially foreclosure
Legal opinion
Advice to owners at the owners’ meeting
Drafting decision patterns, agreements, management contracts
