Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

The bill would allow owners to attend homeowners' meetings by video call, if the meeting approves it or the building's bylaws include it. It amends Article 15 of the Horizontal Property Law.
The bill proposes that the community's minute book can be kept in electronic format, following a model to be approved by the Directorate General for Legal Security and Public Faith. It amends Article 19.
Owners could give the community's secretary their address in Spain or an email address to receive summonses and notices. If they do not, the apartment or premises will count as the address, and if a notice cannot be delivered it will be posted on the community notice board and take effect after three calendar days. It amends Article 9.
If passed, the law would take effect the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette (Boletín Oficial del Estado).

Who it affects

Owners of apartments and premises in homeowners' communities: Could attend meetings by video call and designate an email address for notices.
Administrators and secretaries of homeowners' communities: Could use a digital minute book and must manage the new ways of attending meetings and receiving notices.
