About

Owners’ Management Company: Law and Best Practice is an authoritative guide to the law of property management in Ireland. It examines, in detail, the workings of the owners’ management company and the implications for all of those who are involved including its members, directors, service providers and residents.

This book deals with all of the legal and practical issues around the ownership and control of the common areas of a multi-unit development which may comprise apartment blocks, housing estates, commercial estates and/or mixed-use developments. The Property Services Regulatory Authority is examined as is some fundamental and relevant provisions of the new Companies Act 2014 which apply to all owners’ management companies in Ireland today.

The myriad of issues which abound landlord and tenant law in the residential context are also covered in this book. As the subject of the owners’ management company traverses Land Law, Housing Law and Company Law, Owners’ Management Company: Law and Best Practice will be of great interest to anyone wishing to learn more about the property services sector.
