Collective housing and the legal position of professional building managers

Collective housing, which means living in multi-apartment buildings, has become the dominant form of housing in urban areas, both here and around the world. This way of life brings numerous advantages, such as more rational use of space, shared infrastructure and lower maintenance costs. However, at the same time, it imposes special challenges in terms of organization, communication and management of common spaces. Precisely because of the complexity of managing common assets, such as corridors, elevators, roofs and installations, the need to hire professional building managers is growing. Their role is not only technical, but also organizational, legal and communicative. Professional building managers should enable more efficient functioning of housing communities, improve the quality of housing and contribute to preserving the value of real estate. The authors of this work aim to analyze collective housing and show the importance of managing residential buildings, in general, the legal position of professional building managers, and their role and responsibilities in managing residential buildings, as well as the benefits that this system brings to tenants and the entire community.
