As the supreme decision-making body in the building, the General Meeting of co-owners must meet once every year. It is the main highlight for co-owners, who meet and organise the management of their building by voting on the decisions regarding the operating budget or work to be carried out, for example. An opportunity to exchange views, it allows good management practices to be decided upon, not only the existing successes also determining areas for improvement.
The Management Company calls this meeting. This can take several forms:
Ordinary Annual General Meeting
The ordinary general meeting must be held at least once every year. It is essential to the smooth running of the life of the building since it allows the accounts of the building to be validated and the operating budget to be established.
It follows an agenda, decided, and validated in collaboration with the members of the residents association. This document may also include requests from owners, provided that these are sent to the Management Company within set deadlines.
The notice of the ordinary general meeting by the Management Company must be issued to all co-owners, at least 21 clear days before the meeting. It must be sent by registered letter (paper or electronic) or delivered by hand.
The holding of an extraordinary general meeting is necessary when the co-owners take important measures, without having to wait for the mandatory annual general meeting.
It is called under the same conditions, the same forms, and the same deadlines as an ordinary meeting.
