Condominium Legal Framework
The Condominium Act of Malta (Chapter 398 of the Laws of Malta) regulates the ownership, use, and management of buildings divided into separate units, such as apartments, that share common parts. The Act establishes the legal framework for the rights and responsibilities of individual unit owners and the administration of the common parts.
Why Register a Condominium?
· Registration confirms the administrator’s role and authority to act on behalf of all unit owners in matters related to the common parts.
· Registration provides a clear public record of who is responsible for managing the building, making it easier for owners, buyers, or third parties to know whom to contact.
· In the event of disputes or changes in ownership, having an officially registered administrator ensures continuity and proper handover of responsibilities.
· Registered rules are part of the public record, so any interested party can easily access and review them before a transaction.
