Apartment owners will have a greater say in the management of their complexes under new legislation published today by Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern.
The Multi-Unit Developments Bill 2009 outlines legal protections that will affect over 500,000 apartment owners in new and existing complexes.
The Bill will set new standards for the operation of management companies and new rules for developers who build apartments.
Fine Gael welcomed the Bill, but said it was long-overdue.
Measures in the Bill include developers having to set up an 'Owners Management Company' prior to the sale of apartments.
