WEG administrator does not act: demand duties and remove them

The WEG administrator must properly manage the community: implement resolutions, produce statements, organize maintenance. If they do not do this, you as an owner have options, from the written request to removal by resolution.

Your chances of getting your money back

The administrator is obliged to proper management. If they breach duties, they can be removed by majority resolution and the administrator contract can be terminated.
Individual owners can demand that urgent measures be placed on the agenda of the meeting. In the event of imminent danger, immediate measures are sometimes possible.

What you should do now

  1. 1

    1. Name the duties specifically

    Write to the administrator which duty they are breaching (e.g. missing statement, unimplemented resolution) and set a deadline.

  2. 2

    2. Involve other owners

    Gather supporters. Resolutions require the meeting and majorities.

  3. 3

    3. Force the agenda

    Demand the convening of a meeting or the inclusion of the item 'removal of the administrator' on the agenda.

  4. 4

    4. Resolve on removal

    At the meeting the administrator can be removed and the contract terminated. For an important reason this is possible at any time.

How to spot the scam

  • Annual statements do not come at all or come massively late.
  • Resolutions of the meeting are not implemented.
  • The administrator is unreachable for weeks while damage grows.

Frequently asked questions

How is an administrator removed?

By resolution of the owners' meeting with a simple majority. If there is an important reason (e.g. gross breaches of duty), the removal can occur at any time and the administrator contract can be terminated for an important reason.

What can an individual owner do?

You can request the administrator in writing to fulfil their duties and demand that the topic be placed on the agenda. In the event of urgent need for action, an extraordinary meeting may also be necessary.

Who is liable for damage from inaction?

If the administrator culpably breaches their duties and the community suffers damage as a result, they can be liable to compensate. But this must be shown and often enforced in court.
