Minister of State for Local Government, Arbjan Mazniku, presented the draft law “On the Administration of Co-Ownership in Buildings” to the Committee on Economy and Finance. It aims to improve the management of common spaces and increase the quality of life in urban communities.
Mazniku told the commission members that 40% of the total number of apartments, or more precisely over 43 thousand, are multi-storey, meaning there is a co-ownership situation. According to the minister, the new law determines how people's coexistence in these buildings functions.
"A series of problems of everyday life, coexistence, and communication were related to the way co-ownership is administered. The law creates the obligation for each object to issue a joint co-ownership certificate. All elements that are part of co-ownership are marked with a specific ownership certificate," said Mazniku.
The new initiative tasks each municipality with creating a condominium register. It will list the type of building, the year it was built, the administrative bodies it has, and the typology of the building.
"Every municipality must keep a register of all facilities," Mazniku said, writes A2 CNN.
The new law will create a structure responsible for the rapid and effective resolution of disputes for values up to 800 thousand lekë.
"A commission is created in each municipality that functions as an administrative entity to resolve disputes up to this amount. People can pursue the dispute in court if they do not agree," said Mazniku.
According to Minister Mazniku, the law is based on the Italian, French, German model, but also from countries such as Croatia and Slovenia. (A2 Televizion)
