What is the role of a property manager in cases of unpaid bills?
It is not something that is a good dish for any neighborhood community but can touch us all, none is free of them. And is that we never know when a neighbor will not be able to pay the maintenance of rigor or if the tenants of a certain floor are not very honest and prefer not to pay like the rest of neighbors. How should property managers deal with defaulters?The administrators of farms are those people who work in the shade, that is, they perform a very important task that we normally do not know. Or rather, we only know when things are not going well. One of its functions is to prevent non-payment in the communities of goods. In other words, they must remember and notify when they must pay maintenance on the ladder, an unexpected breakdown or an arrangement approved at the last meeting.Once remembered, by active and passive, there may be neighbors who fail to comply with the non-payment of the community of neighbors, so the role of the administrator must be more effective. It is about claiming the debt in a friendly way and if it is not possible to go to the legal way. The fastest and most effective way, judicially speaking, is the Monitorial Procedure (of course, we will depend on the Court that in turn corresponds to us so that the process is more or less rapid). But we must contemplate that the debts of communities of owners are not urgent matters in a court and that this means that many times is left for the last cases to resolve.The importance of the property managerThe farm administrator will resolve it in court, by means of a petition, the creation of an executive title to claim the non-payment. That is, you must perform a specific procedure different from the demand. There are many people who can not pay their debts but the truth is that currently there are many channels to know the payment terms and quantities as there are online tools such as applications made exprofeso for neighborhood communities that improve and much communication between the neighbors. That is, a default can never be attributed to a mistake.But it is also that these communications written and sent online protect us from possible accusations of ignorance of payment deadlines and serve as evidence before the courts. It is a great advantage to have a property manager who is always up-to-date with legal news and knows how to act both administratively and legally. In addition, it prevents the neighbors from directly confronting the debtors as it is personally responsible.
