There isn't a lot the President has to do except work with the Administrator to sign off on various documents and attend the AGM. Some Presidents make themselves very important but I am sure you could delegate some tasks to other homeowners who are there more often than you. I would contact your ...

...Administrator and get a working relationship established as to how you would carry out your functions. Most of the time the President is called on for keys to open meter boxes or answer queries from homeowners or contractors etc. None of our Presidents have lived full-time in our Community. I have never in almost 26 years contacted a President. It is always the Administrator I ask if I have a query.

This information is all very well if you have an administrator who does the job they paid for.  If you have an administrator who never answers emails and procrastinates if you ask a question face to face how can it work?  Don't even suggest voting them out as too many just don't bother ...

...and leave everything to the President who wants this administrator and go along with what she wants. AGMs a joke.  No one with scruples attend and has got to the point that they don't  vote as no point. Nothing changes.

If the Administrator is useless make them add an item to “Any Other Business” to remove the current Administrator. I they cannot refuse by law, if they do they can be taken to court by law and they will lose. If absolutely necessary the President could contact a new Administrator to help with...

I am living in Ireland,but, own a property in Playa Flamenca, Spain. I recently received an email saying that ,as no one in our Community put themselves forward for President, a name was chosen at random. The person who was chosen has refused the role. It seems that under Spanish Law, (Horizontal...

... Property Law 13.2) the role is mandatory. It seems that in such a case the matter can be referred to a Spanish Judge. I was just wondering, if any of you know, - what penalty can a Judge impose on a person who is not residing in the country and also is this not a type of coercion that a person must take a role???

I think you missed my point - the President and Administrator  are in cahoots . They back each other. Any one who makes complaints are ignored by both or they pass the complaint to each other and you get no reply.  The President gets what he/she wants as there are a few long time reside...

...nts who always vote in their favour and anyone who objects is shouted down.  So those who want a well run community don't get involved as they have learned over the years there is no point.

We had one of those scenarios and it took a big effort to get enough votes to remove the President, then we removed the Administrator. Do you receive a set of accounts each year? Are they accurate? I only mention this because if there is anything wrong, you can use this as a vote of no confidence...
