Thank you!

The problem is  there is a tiny fan in a bathroom and it's going above the sailing. No to the roof and no outside. There is no ventilation. They have not done it during the renovation.  It's a fake ventilation:(   I'm devastated

I’m sorry that you have encountered this problem.  When did you move into this place?  You should contact your solicitor and tell him / her. It’s possible that they could advise you what best to do.

You do not say if there is a window in this bathroom or not. If there isn’t, you’ll need to install another fan closer to the area where the condensation collects.  Could you hire a DEHUMIDIFIER or buy one?  This machine will collect ALL moisture from the room and may be your best b...

...et.   Is it possible to install a window in the bathroom?

You mention that the gate of your urbanisation is not working.  Speak with your president and other neighbours.  Your gate should be locked and keeping unwelcome people out.

When you say "handing it t the administration" do you mean the administrators for the complex that you may be in, or your administrator/solicitor?

If you are involving he administrators of the complex, then I think that you will be wasting your time, they will have no knowledge or be interested in any issues with your building, and will expect you to deal with these yourself - which you seem to be progressing with. Just make sure that you a...

Have you spoken to your legal representative from when you bought the property? I think that’s the first step to take.

To follow up to Steve’s reply’, attempting to involve the administration of the property is unlikely to achieve anything. They are extremely unlikely to have had anything to do with the construction of the buildings, so ventilations, condensation etc is not their concern. Remedial works are d...
