Residents who do not pay their community fees could face bans from using swimming pools and common areas

Approved in June, a new law which promotes the rehabilitation of buildings, has other important ramifications for residents in apartment blocks or developments who pay community fees.

Manuel Jiménez, president of the Association of Property Administrators of Malaga and Melilla, said if there are residents who do not pay their community fees, and the community decides to take action after a vote, then they could be banned from entering communal areas such as a swimming pool, sports courts, gardens or barbecue area.
