Management Petition

MANAGEMENT COMPANIES – CHANGE THE LAW NOW!


A message from Cllr Michael O’Donovan inviting residents to sign a petition for tough new laws on management companies.

The issue of the role of management companies in apartment complexes and housing development is still a thorny one.The Law Reform Commission has proposed changes in the law to ensure that residents, not developers, run the management of estates or apartment complexes. These are solid, practical and progressive recommendations, but the report has gathered dust on the Minister’s shelf for over a year.

I am inviting residents who live in “managed” estates to sign a petition calling on the Government to enact immediately the new laws required to give residents full democratic control of their management company. Where management companies are necessary (e.g. in an apartment building), we call for “not-for-profit” companies, and owners’ management companies. It is simply wrong that homeowners should be asked pay extortionate fees for basic services in their homes and neighbourhoods.

You can:-
Ø Sign the Petition ..... or
Ø Post your comments to the Mayor’s Office, Dublin 15 ….. or
Ø E-mail me this single sentence –
“I call on the Government to implement immediately the recommendations of the Law Reform Commission on the regulation of Management Companies”.

Your comments will be added to the petition, and it will be presented to the Government at Easter.
