Part Three of a Series from Vela Esperon
Following on from the previous segment, we resume the matter of a Condo owner rights and obligations. According to Lic. Mario Vela from Vela-Esperon Law Firm, these are established mainly by three different sources, the first one is the Condo Regulation itself (article may vary in each Condo bylaw); the second one would be the law of Condominium property of the State of Quintana Roo (hereinafter the Law), specifically those mentioned in articles 14 to 21 and others related and applicable to the Law; and finally, the obligations agreed by the general meeting of condo owners, according to the minute which shall be duly Notarized and recorded at the public registry of the Property & Commerce. You may find the Law detail in the following link:
