One of the most important issues that concerns many apartment residents living in Antalya is the collection of apartment fees that are not paid on time. Late payments make it difficult to meet the general expenses of the apartment and negatively affect the maintenance of common areas. In order to prevent this situation and to collect the fees regularly, it may be necessary to resort to legal means. As Atty. Arb. Billur Güler Aslım Law Firm, we are a team specialized in the collection of apartment fees in Antalya and in this article, we will explain in detail the legal paths you can follow.
Precautions to be taken before collection of membership fees
It is very important to take some precautions before experiencing problems with dues collection. These precautions will make future legal processes easier and reduce costs.
A Clear and Explicit Membership Regulation
There should be a clear and explicit dues regulation in your building. This regulation should explain in detail the dues amount, payment methods, payment dates and penalties that will be applied in case of delay. Having the regulation signed and approved by all residents of the building helps to prevent possible disputes.
Regular Information and Communication
Apartment residents should be reminded regularly about their dues payments and informed about their payment status. Different communication channels such as e-mail, SMS or written notification can be used to track payments and detect delays at an early stage.
Keeping Records Regularly
Records of all dues payments and delays must be kept in an orderly and detailed manner. These records will constitute important evidence in possible legal proceedings. In addition to digital records, it is important to keep signed payment documents.
Collection of Dues through Legal Means
The legal means available for collecting dues may vary depending on the amount of the debt and the attitude of the debtor.
Sending a Warning Letter
First of all, a notice must be sent to the debtor. The notice must state the amount of unpaid dues, the default interest and the payment period. The notice must be sent through a notary public to prove that it has been served.
Execution Proceedings
If payment is not made despite the notice, enforcement proceedings may be initiated. For enforcement proceedings, a debt document and other necessary documents must be submitted to the enforcement office. Enforcement proceedings ensure that the debt is collected by seizing the assets.
Amicable Agreement
Before or after initiating enforcement proceedings, an agreement can be reached with the debtor through amicable means. This agreement may include options such as installment or partial payment of the debt. It is important that the agreement is made in writing and notarized.
