The trustees will have no choice. Friday, March 19, Herv? Novelli, Secretary of State for Trade, has signed a decree listing the benefits which must be included in the annual package paid by owners to day management of the building. Only services that are not included in this list will therefore in future be charged as extra by the trustee.
For example, the detention and the retention of certain records (plans, rules of ownership …) are included in the package. Same principle for the holding of general meeting, whichever occurs on the days and time slots indicated in the contract.All new contracts signed after July 1 must comply with this new rule.
This order lists the tasks of daily management purposes only established by the National Council of Consumer Affairs (CNC), which he believes should not be charged extra. The vast majority of contracts trustee voluntarily complies this list, as their unions had requested them. Most owners have therefore already contracts under the new rules. But a small minority of trustees continued to ignore. The order will force them to toe the line.
Herve Novelli has however not been satisfactory associations consumer no fax cash advances .They wanted the order to go further, especially to cut short the abusive practices of some trustees accused of inventing such new costs (administrative costs for time spent making photocopies for example) and to charge off package.
"A very imperfect compromise"
Association officials condominium (Arc) was also condemned in advance the draft order, saying it would allow such trustees to continue to pay more to hold general meeting in the evening. For the General Confederation of tenants, that order is "a very imperfect compromise between consumer expectations and resistance professionals.It gives no definition of the current management, poses no limit to the abuse of special services and create difficulties of interpretation concerning the list of benefits. "
But Herve Novelli does not intend to abandon this topic. He asked the Committee on unfair terms in order to have deep expertise on the unfairness or otherwise of all clauses in contracts.
