The new Law establishes the obligation that has all proprietor of notifying to the Community a home of notifications and, of not making it, they will be valid those that are made to the floor or local in question. The votes of the proprietors non assistants will be considered as favorable if, once notified of the adoption of the agreement, they don't manifest their discrepancy in the term of thirty natural days. It is, therefore, very important for the proprietors of second housings, in the beach or in the mountain, to communicate this home for notifications that it will be usually that of their residence place, to avoid that they are valid those that are made to the second housing, usually unoccupied.
