Building complexes can choose various ACOs

Since the law of 2 June 2010 was passed, it has been possible to split a large complex with at least 20 apartments into various partial associations, each with its own autonomous decision-making powers. The benefit of this type of arrangement is that each partial association can choose its own preferred supplier for its common parts and does not have to negotiate with all the co-owners of the complex. This can benefit the efficiency of the decision-making process and it will also have a major impact on the operational activities.
